Health Concerns Keep Will Moorad Out of 2017 CrossFit Open

Will Moorad just announced via Instagram that he will not be competing in the CrossFit Open due to some health concerns.

Due to some health concerns I won't be able to compete in the @crossfitgames this season. Thanks to all my family, friends and sponsors for their support and good luck to everyone competing!

Moorad made it to the CrossFit Games in 2014 after an epic back-and-forth battle with Graham Holmberg at the Central East Regional. Moorad ended up finishing 14th at the Games that year.

Since then, Moorad has narrowly missed out qualifying for the Games the past two years under the Super-Regional format placing 7th and 6th in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

We wish Will the best and hope to see him back on the competition floor soon. Until then, here’s a video we did with Moorad last year as he prepared for the 2016 season.
