Let’s take a look inside Team Australia!

KARA WEBB

Kara came painfully close to winning the 2014 CrossFit Games. Leading the field for the majority of the competition, Webb was subsequently injured during the Midline March event on the final day and was forced to withdraw.

Webb has recovered well and training hard and excited to make an impact at the 2014 CrossFit Invitational. As one of the pivotal team members of “Team World” last year together with Chad Mackay, Webb will be leading from the front!
