Yesterday, Austin Malleolo and Spencer Hendel announced they would forgo individual competition in the 2017 CrossFit season in order to compete with team Reebok CrossFit ONE.

Malleolo and Hendel's absence from the East Regional will definitely shake up the leaderboard--they have been to the Games five and six times each, respectively. Rounded out by formidable teammates in Conor Murphy, Kait Brierley, Rachel Simone (individual Games competitor in 2014; team competitor in 2015) and Allyson Leard (team competitor in 2012 and 2015), Reebok CrossFit ONE could be a force to reckon with this season.

At Wodapalooza last month, Malleolo, Hendel and Murphy competed together as team Reebok CrossFit ONE, and finished 13th overall.
