Rosie Kingston – Crossfit

Bio

Sport has always been a huge part of my life, since a young age I remember taking part in every sport I could.

I was advised to start athletics by my teacher at school when I was 11 so I joined the local athletics club Bicester AC, where I competed in Long Jump, Sprints and Hurdles. I competed at a National Standard throughout my junior years competing in National Championships, Regional Championships and English Schools.
Prior to leaving Oxfordshire to complete my undergraduate degree at Cardiff Metropolitan University I competed locally for Radley AC. Once in Cardiff I was coached by Matt Elias, and higher claimed Cardiff AAC to compete at a higher standard of athletics. Throughout the three years at University I achieved a huge personal best in the 100m, Long Jump and 100m Hurdles. I also managed to reach finals of BUCS Chamionships, win The Welsh Senior Outdoor Championships and be invited to my first Indoor and Outdoor British Senior Championships. When I moved back to Oxfordshire I was asked if I would like to go to a local crossfit box in Didcot by my boyfriend to do a session, from that point on I was hooked. Due to no longer being coached in Cardiff and struggling mentally to complete track sessions on my own I decided that I was going to focus mainly on Crossfit over athletics and since then I haven’t looked back!
