Youth Nationals: Minneapolis, MN

Hello, my name is Kira Krueger. I am 17 years old and am a junior at Lake Stevens High School in Washington. For those of you who may not know me, I am an extremely passionate up and coming teen crossfitter with numerous goals I’m striving to achieve in both Crossfit and in Olympic Weightlifting. After a rigorous five weeks of competing against thousands of other teen females around the globe, I finished 22nd worldwide in the 2015 Teen Crossfit Open.  Although I just missed out competing in the first ever “Teen Crossfit Games” this opened my eyes like no other and made me realize that I am truly capable of accomplishing anything. Last week I competed in my very first Olympic weightlifting competition and was blessed to have qualified for Youth Nationals which will be held in Minneapolis Minnesota June 26-28th.

My goal is to raise at least1,000 dollars to help me pursue my dream in competing at Youth Nationals!

Hard work and dedication have gotten me to where I am today. I’m truly honored to be surrounded by athletes who push me beyond my limits. Their mentorship has taught me so much and I know this is just the beginning for big things to come!! I am so fortunate to have amazing parents who have ALWAYS supported and encouraged me every step of the way. I want to prove to them and to myself that I can accomplish anything I put my heart and mind to.

Thank you for all the love and support!!                                                                                                                                                               -Kira Krueger
