Cross Pollinator – May 14, 2022
The Cross-Pollinator is always our chance to do things a little different, and that will certainly be true this year as well!
The 2022 Cross Pollinator will be for teams of 3 athletes where each athlete should represent a unique level in their fitness capabilities. For example, if athlete #1 is the reigning record holder in the gym they would want to find another partner who is more of an experienced athlete but maybe not as advanced, and then their third athlete would want to be someone who is still developing their game. Call it a Black, a Blue and a Green level athlete, if you will. We will be publishing the general standards we would want teams to use as they form their rosters with target weights for various lifts and skill levels for gymnastics movements.
Our hope is that the “Cross Pollination” comes in the form of experienced athletes supporting those that have less experience, or possibly limitations based on age or other factors. And we’d still love to see individuals from different gyms forming teams – we’re just not mandating it this year. We also hope that individuals who have an expertise in an area of fitness (strength, conditioning, skill, etc.) can contribute their skills as an athlete vs. having to fit into a specific level or gender.
