Athlete fails to make it 6 CrossFit games appearances

The California regional wrapped up with an mainstay in the CrossFit games failing to make it into the top 5 places. 
Dan Bailey was unable to make it 6 straight games appearances after a tough weekend in California. 
Although Bailey finished inside the top 10 for each event, it still wasn't enough to fend off the tough competition at the California regional this year. 
The top spot was occupied by a resurgent Josh Bridges who dominated the competition this year, after failing to make it to the CrossFit games in 2015.
Rasmus Wisbech Andersen, Marcus Filly, Christian Lucero and Garrettt Fischer were able to book their places in a tight contest for the remaining 4 spots. 
There was also high drama on the women's side with Brooke Ence failing to book her spot to the 2016 CrossFit games, while Lauren Fischer took the top spot after a very impressive weekend. 
Rebecca Voigt unbelievably made it into 2nd place, meaning she has qualified for the CrossFit games every year since 2008; Something no other female athlete has ever done.
Alessandra Pichelli, Chyna Cho and Jamie Hagiya all occupied the remaining 3 spots with only 10 points separating them all.
