Summary

Patrick Vellner - One of the top CrossFit athletes in the sport of CrossFit. Before he became a CrossFit athlete he was a competitive gymnast and lacrosse player. Additionally, he played rugby when he was young. Patrick did gymnastics with his older brother and played lacrosse with his younger brother. After competing nationally for several years, he retired from gymnastics in 2010. He continued to play lacrosse until 2015.
