Greendale Trainer Colavita 17th at Reebok CrossFit Games

Frank Colavita, the 49-year-old owner of CrossFit Greendale, did not make the final cut in a competition that included 19 of the fittest crossfit competitors in the world.

In his first appearance at the worldwide Reebok CrossFit Games in Los Angeles, Greendale's Frank Colavita was 17th of 19 men in his age group last week.

Colavita, the 49-year-old owner of CrossFit Greendale, did not make the final cut after finishing no better than 14th in any of the first four events for men between the ages of 44-49.

Ron Ortiz, a firefighter who qualified out of the Southeast region, was the champion of the weight class.

Colavita told Greendale Patch before heading to the competition he plans to try out for the games in 2014, when he'll move to the next master's age category.
