The Syndicate Crown is hosting an In-Person Qualifying Event to send two men and two women to the 2025 CrossFit Games. Hosted in Knoxville, Tennessee, the Syndicate Crown is limiting its participation to athletes in the North America East region (the TFX Invitational is for athletes in North America West).
Thirty men and 30 women will be on the competition floor at Syndicate Crown. Of those, 20 will qualify via the CrossFit Open and the other 10 will come from the In-Affiliate Semifinal.
With the CrossFit Open leaderboard finalized, the top 20 athletes in NA East have received an invite to compete at Syndicate Crown. Those athletes are…
| Men | Women |
| Dallin Pepper | Fee Saghafi |
| Jeff Adler | Carolyne Prevost |
| Austin Hatfield | Danielle Brandon |
| Cale Layman | Alexis Raptis |
| Jayson Hopper | Erica Folo |
| Nico Bedon | Rachel Clousing |
| Roman Khrennikov | Lily Burkhead |
| Sam Cournoyer | Brooke Wells |
| George Sterner | Katrina Digiacomo |
| Anthonee Yim | Elena Budz |
| Henry Mathews | Sydney Wells |
| Zane Parise | Rebekah Devine |
| Benoit Boulanger | Lydia Fish |
| Ty Jenkins | Kyra Milligan |
| Tanner Balazs | Lexi Neely |
| Ryan Haynes | Kristine Best |
| Scott Panchik | Tracy Johnson |
| Matt Gilpin | Anikha Greer |
| Jack Rozema | Reese Littlewood |
| Reilly Good | Alaina Savage |
As mentioned earlier, athletes can also qualify via the In-Affiliate Semifinal coming up in early May. Athletes like Katelynn Sanders, Haley Adams, Liz Wishart, Seth Stovall, Spencer Panchik and others still have an opportunity to make it into the 30-athlete field.
Unlike other IPQE’s, Syndicate Crown is limiting participation to athletes who have yet to qualify for the CrossFit Games. That is, if Alexis Raptis qualifies at the Mayhem Classic this weekend, she will not be allowed to compete at Syndicate Crown.
With In-Affiliate Semifinals and multiple IPQE’s between now and the end of May, don’t be surprised if this quite a few athletes on this list end up not competing.
Syndicate Crown will also host 30 Elite teams. While teams qualify through the In-Affiliate Semifinals, top teams have the ability to compete in-person.
And for those who are not elite, Syndicate Crown has multiple community team divisions for all skill levels.
Syndicate Crown is May 30 through June 1 at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum in Knoxville, Tennessee. Spectator tickets are still available.
