CMI’s Sarah Barkley qualifies for the CrossFit Games
CMI Sales Manager Sarah Barkley has officially qualified for the 2025 CrossFit Games, ranking No. 8 in the world in her division. This is an exceptional achievement and a powerful testament to Barkley’s grit, dedication and unmatched skill in the sport of CrossFit.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of athletes from around the globe compete in the CrossFit Open, the first stage in the road to the games. In Barkley’s age group alone, over 9,000 athletes participated worldwide.
The CrossFit Semifinals serve as the second qualifying stage on the road to the 2025 CrossFit Games. The top 125 athletes in Barkley’s division advanced to the Semifinals — and Barkley delivered a dominant performance, securing her place among the world’s elite.
As a result, Barkley will be competing at the 2025 CrossFit Games, taking place Aug. 21–24 in Columbus, OH, where she’ll go head-to-head with the top 30 women in her age group worldwide.
“This accomplishment is beyond my wildest dreams,” said Barkley. “I'm so grateful to have the support of CMI and to be able to share this accomplishment with the whole team. I truly couldn't have done it without their support. Though this is a huge accomplishment, the best is yet to come and I look forward to seeing what we can do at the games!”
"Qualifying for the CrossFit Games is no small feat, and it’s a true reflection of the hard work, discipline, and relentless determination Sarah's poured into this journey,” said CMI CEO Bob Mast. “We’re all so proud and can’t wait to cheer her on this August!”
