Cheryl Brost is a twelve-time qualifier, ten-time CrossFit Games athlete with Games experience across three divisions and three-time World Champion of her age group: the individual competition and the Masters Women 40-44, 45-49 and 50-54 Divisions. After starting CrossFit in 2009, the former All-American soccer player took 13th in her first Games appearance in 2010. She went on to qualify for the Games as an individual for the next two years, taking her best finish of seventh in 2011. Brost has qualified for the Games as a master every year since 2013 (though an achilles injury at the 2013 North West Regional and a 2018 post Qualifier shoulder injury forced her to withdraw, hip surgery in 2021 kept her out from competing in 2021). Brost finished the 2016 and 2017 season with a career-best finish of first place in the 45-49 Division (she also won the Open and the Masters Qualifier that year). Brost returned to the top of the podium in 2023 with a first place finish in the 50-54 Division.
