The results of the 2022 CrossFit Team Quarterfinals are in the books, and Team Mayhem Freedom takes the top spot on the worldwide and North American leaderboards. The squad led by Four-time Fittest Man on Earth®, Rich Froning Jr., notched first overall for the second consecutive year with an impressive total score of 10 points.

Note: At the time of publishing the CrossFit Games have not finalized all the results, leaving them subject to change. 

Here are the complete worldwide team results from the 2022 CrossFit Team Quarterfinals:

1. CrossFit Mayhem Freedom (USA; North America) — 10 points
2. CrossFit Invictus (USA; North America) — 24 points
3. CrossFit Mayhem Independence (USA; North America) — 27 points
4. CrossFit Selwyn (Australia; Oceania) — 45 points
5. CrossFit PSC (Canada; North America) — 54 points
6. CrossFit Oslo Navy Blue (Norway; Europe) — 56 points
7. CrossFit Move Fast Lift Heavy (USA; North America) — 81 points
8. CrossFit EXF (Australia; Oceania)— 110 points
9. CrossFit Mayhem Justice (USA; North America) — 115 points 
10. Kamo Athletics CrossFit (USA; North America) —116 points 
11. CrossFit Zarautz Training Culture (Spain; Europe) — 117 points 
12. CrossFit Oba (USA; North America) — 128 points

CrossFit Games assign points relative to a finish. For example, a first-place team finish in an event garners one point, with that number increasing as an athlete or team ranks lower. The lower the score, the better a reflection of a performance in its totality.

That makes Mayhem Freedom’s ultimate result in the 2022 CrossFit Team Quarterfinals — where they won Workouts Two, Three, and Five, and notched second in Workout Four and fifth in Workout One — that much more impressive in context. They were only the team to have a top-five finish in each workout.

Causing Mayhem

CrossFit Mayhem — the gym affiliate of Team Mayhem Freedom — had humble beginnings. It also took time before some considered it an integral place to the sport of CrossFit overall. 

Over a decade ago, in 2009, Froning Jr. originally started CrossFit Mayhem in his native Cookeville, Tennessee. Then, just three years later, what first took place in Froning Sr.’s barn expanded to a full-fledged downtown training facility.

For the Mayhem crew, it’s all been a whirlwind ever since. Mayhem first sent a team to the CrossFit Games in 2013, and they fared admirably with an initial 27th-place finish. It wasn’t until their founder joined the efforts that they truly launched to the competition’s heights.

After winning his fourth CrossFit Games in 2014, Froning Jr. subsequently retired from the Individual portion of the Games to focus on leading Mayhem to team excellence.

In retrospect, that decision fared quite well for one of CrossFit’s legends. Since Froning Jr. joined his team, Mayhem Freedom has been a mainstay in the team CrossFit ranks. 

Among more notable results, in 2015 and 2016, Team Mayhem Freedom became only the second-ever team to win back-to-back CrossFit Affiliate Cup Championships — the official team competition of the CrossFit Games. A worldwide first-place finish in the 2022 CrossFit Team Quarterfinals is not out of the ordinary for their typical output. 

While members have understandably shifted over the years, the current stellar team consists of Froning Jr., Samuel Cournoyer, Andrea Nisler, and Taylor Williamson. We’ll see what magic this dynamic group can conjure the next time they compete.

SemiFinals on Deck

With the Quarterfinals in the rearview mirror, the 2022 CrossFit SemiFinals are right around the corner. There will be 10 in-person events this year — four in North America, two in Europe, and one in Oceania, Asia, Africa, and South America, respectively.

The Semifinals will happen over four successive weeks, starting on May 20-22, 2022, and ending on June 10-12, 2022. If an in-person event is not feasible for any reason, it will take place virtually. The 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games will follow the Semifinals and occur on Aug. 3-7, 2022, in Madison, WI.
