Goodbye to Bill and Niki Van Harp, we will miss you but we know you'll be back…. :)
Today we say goodbye to two of our veteran CrossFitters and personal favorite athletes of mine (Coach Andy) because I've had the privilege of watching them begin CrossFit over a year ago and come so far to become the super athletes that they are today! Bill and Niki Van Harp personify exactly what an athlete's commitment, dedication, and hard work through CrossFit can achieve. While they have always been in excellent shape as young leaders of today's Army, they have taken their fitness to another level through CrossFit and our Army is better for it. Thanks for representing our box with class as athletes and for consistently putting forth your best effort every day! You've made such an awesome impression on so many new CrossFitters in our affiliate and we will ALL miss WODing with y'all while y'all are deployed. You'll always be Centurions and will always have a box to call home when you return! Be safe and God Bless!
Sincerely,
Centurion Coaches and Athletes.
By special request and in honor of Bill and Niki Van Harp we will do the Hero WOD T.K.!!!
