Shanna is a medical doctor (pediatrics) who accidentally discovered CrossFit in 2013. Shanna was a non-athlete all her life and walked into a crossfit gym 3 blocks from her work, middle aged and pudgy. She had no idea what crossfit was, and was blown away by the amazing women at her gym. She drank the kool-aid and became "addicted". It took her 2-3 years of regular crossfit classes to become strong enough to do a pull up or push up. After signing up for her first open in 2015 , she magically qualified for AGOQ 2016. She then made a decision to try to make the Games and has been training for the last 5 years religiously. She continues to be amazed by what her body can be trained to do so late in age with no athletic experience. Shanna earned her CFMDL1 in 2018. She is the mother of three amazing boys. Hobbies include gardening, reading, knitting and hiking.
