Christina Taylor Green was born on September 11, 2001. She died in another public display of violence on January 8, 2011. She was shot in Tucson, along with 19 other people, including Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Five victims died at the scene. Of the six fatalities, only Christina died at the hospital. Her uncle Greg Segalini said she took a bullet in the chest. The 9-year-old girl had accompanied a neighbor to the “town hall” event in a supermarket parking lot because she wanted to meet Gabrielle Giffords. Christina was newly elected to the student council at Mesa Verde Elementary School.

This WOD will be done in memory of Christina. The 6 movements in the workout represent how many people died as a result of the shooting, 9 reps for each movement represent Christina’s age.
