The University of Michigan graduate, profiled by AnnArbor.com last May, won three of six events during the three-day competition at the Ohio Expo Center.

She also finished second in two events and third in another to easily outdistance the rest of the 35-woman field. (Leaderboard)

CrossFit athletes compete in a series of workouts that combine aspects of weightlifting, cardiovascular training and gymnastics among other things.

Athletes don’t learn what the events will be until the day of competition, so no competition is ever the same.

Foucher set world records in two different events. Find highlights from each in the videos below:
