After two days of competition, #TeamDensity from CrossFit Overtake remains on top of the leaderboard, but Pillar CrossFit is knocking on the door. With a dominating 1st and 2nd place finish in the last two events today, Pillar finds themselves only 15 points behind #TeamDensity. Rockwell CrossFit, CrossFit Omnia, and Backcountry Black finish out the top 5, but with 300 points up for grabs tomorrow, the field is far from set.

The dust has settled on Day 1 at South Regionals and the former Fittest Woman on Earth did not disappoint. Camille Leblanc-Bazinet finished the Event 1 Snatch ladder in 6:51, faster than any other female or male competitor in the region. She rounded out her day with a second place finish on Event 2, "Regional Nate", putting her in 1st overall after the day. Though no female competitors were able to finish the event, Alexis Johnson came the closest, edging out Camille by 10 reps to take the event win.

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." Mark Twain may as well have been talking about the CrossFit Games with that quote. Every sport has underdogs, and CrossFit is no different. Maybe they're looking for redemption, maybe they're finally on the cusp of making it, but no matter what these athletes are in it to win it whether people believe in them or not. Here are the biggest underdogs of Weekend 1 of Regionals.
We’re only a few days away from the 2016 CrossFit Games Regionals and the athletes of the South are set to converge on Dallas, Texas. The men’s side will feature quite a few Games veterans looking to repeat but on the Women’s side only one 2015 returning champion remains!
