The dust has settled in Del Mar, and with it, one of the most competitive stages of the 2026 CrossFit season has delivered its verdict. Big names included Rebecca Voigt Miller, Carolyne Prevost, Jason Grubb, and David Hippensteel.
As a key Semifinal on the road to the CrossFit Games, the Legends Championship once again brought together a deep field of elite individuals and Masters athletes, all chasing a limited number of qualifying spots. Over three days of demanding, varied tests, performances were exposed, contenders emerged, and seasons came to an abrupt end for many. Now, with the leaderboard finalized, the focus shifts to who rose to the occasion, and who secured their place at the Games.
There were many familiar faces in the Master’s divisions, elite competitors that have recently graduated upwards. People such as Scott Panchik and Sam Dancer. The former and his wife were both competing, and were also each others biggest cheerleaders.
