Fallon grad Sean Sweeney, who was named 2015’s “Fittest in Nevada,” placed fourth in last weekend’s southern regional CrossFit Games Open Competition to qualify for the national event in Carson, Calif., in July.
Sweeney, a 2009 Fallon grad who owns the CrossFit Powerstroke on the Reno Highway, fell short in last year’s qualifier in Dallas and needed to come back in this year’s attempt. Sweeney finished 17th in his first event, 14th in the second and 10th in the third before coming back to win his final event and place fourth.
