Athlete of the Week: Mrs. Burton

We had a few really strong contenders this week - Mr. Gjon, Bewick, and Jessica especially - but our Athlete of the Week this time around goes to Mrs. Burton.

Mrs. Burton's week included two really solid team workout bookends, with the 1775 one on Sunday and 80's Workout yesterday - where her and Bethany managed a 4th place finish among 20 teams. During the week she showed more confidence in her box jumps on Tuesday's 12-minute AMRAP, had a much-improved overhead position for Wednesday's slow OHS misery, and managed to envoke some kind of Native American wind spirit to keep close to Mrs. Van on Friday's kb swing/run couplet. But her highlight of the week, in my opinion, came during a warmup where she performed her first-ever push-up with hands flat on the ground, which is not only a great sign of strength for her but also an improved flexibility in that wrist that has bothered her since forever.

Keep the momentumgoing Mrs. Burton, you're a great example for Kendall and Kyron!
