Team NutriForce Sports is ready to bring the heat this weekend at the Xtreme Top Box competition in Ft. Lauderdale this weekend.

The team is represented by 10 NutriForce Sports sponsored athletes who have all made a showing at CrossFit Regionals and/or the Games, including:

Cassidy Lance (2013 & 2014 Games Athlete),
Pam Tambini (1x Games Team),
Lauren Truskowski (2014 South East Regionals),
Kelley Sargent (Team Regionals),
Carla Nunes Da Costa (1x Games Athlete),
Chase Daniels (2011 & 2012 Games Athlete),
Chris Ziegler (1x Games Team),
Pierre Soero (1x Games Team),
Andre "Dre" Enriquez (1x Games Team),
Dominick Maurici (2012-2014 South East Regionals)

This weekend will be the team’s first time competing, and for that matter, training, together.

“We all do our own individualized programming, but we aren’t too worried about that. All of us have been part of a team for the most part at some point or another,” Dre said.

In fact, Dre won the competition last year as part of Reebok CrossFit Miami Beach and Pam, Chris, Chase, Pierre, and Kelley received 2nd place on Team Hustle Hard. That by no means is assurance that the competition will be easy Dre said.

“Just scanning through the list—Reebok CrossFit Miami Beach, South Florida CrossFit, Gardens CrossFit—we definitely have some competition,” he said.

Aside from the potential of winning the $21,000 purse, the team is most looking forward to having fun and representing NutriForce Sports the best they can.

“Standing at the top of the podium with your friends is the best feeling,” Dre said.
