Apparently James Sprague is good at ATHX, too. On Saturday, James Sprague headed down to Los Angeles for ATHX Los Angeles 2026, the final competition before the 2026 Finals later this month.
Sprague would go on to win ATHX Los Angeles with two workout wins and a 3rd place in the strength event. His scores have also put him atop the global ATHX Pro leaderboard with 49 points. (note that the global leaderboard has not been updated for those who competed at an earlier ATHX competition).
See the leaderboard below…which I’ve correctly added up the points. You’re welcome, ATHX.
Sprague wasn’t the only well-known CrossFit athlete competing at ATHX Los Angeles.
Jorge Fernandez took 3rd place and Wes Peters finished 4th on the men’s side while Ellie Turner won the ATHX Pro female division. Danica Sprague, James’ wife, finished 4th.
That 4th place finish is important because the top 4 athletes at each ATHX competition qualify for the 2026 ATHX Finals in Lisbon, Portugal, from November 27-29.
That means Sprague, his wife, Ellie Turner, Jorge Fernandez and Wes Peters qualified and will receive an invite to the Finals.
But there are a bunch more well-known CrossFitters who have qualified for the Finals.
