Announcing Team Captains!
Introducing the captains of The Foundry Open 2017! This awesome group of leaders is committed to pushing their team to become the Foundry Open 2017 champions!! Presenting… From top left going clockwise, here are your captains:
- Christine (PR, AM) is a social butterfly and clearly knows how to have a good time. Team members can expect numerous social events that might include some ice cold beers!
- Tyler (US, AM) hits the gym 324 days per year. He’s clearly committed to winning and will expect his team to show up regularly for 6am practice. No slackers allowed!
- Amy (PR, AM) has a heart of gold and wants everyone to succeed. She’s been known to bring a tribe of fanatic supporters to the gym. Look for her to really bring it on game day!
- Jen (US, AM) is always amped to try new things. Whether it’s trapeze yoga or bouldering, her team is bound for adventure and fun! Grab your harness and helmet, y’all! Additionally, her photography skills are on point… Say cheese!
- Laura (US, PM) holds down the evenings at Union Station. Rumor has it she’s an excellent host and a closet mobility expert. Team members, we foresee some late night foam rolling parties in your future!
- Grace (PR, PM) hit triple PRs at the Foundry Total last month. She works well under pressure and will encourage her team to also. Be on the lookout for Team Trifecta!
- Ken (PR, PM) kept his training going while traveling the world earlier this year. In Ken’s opinion, there’s no excuse not to sweat. He may even speak to you in an Aussie accent. Get ready, mates!
- Marisa (US, PM) has a consistent positive attitude and a competitive spirit. She’s been known to hijack the tunes to get psyched for a workout. Get ready for dance parties and maybe even some gangsta rap karaoke!
Good luck, captains!! May the odds be ever in your favor!
