We dive into her story and what it took for her to become stronger both physically & mentally to become a national champion, how she dealt with the IPF World Championship being canceled in 2020 and losing her opportunity to represent the country, and how she just recently came back from a serious knee surgery that almost had her miss 2021 Raw Nationals.

Chrissy's determination to overcome the trials of life is evident and inspiring! Oh, and she is ridiculously ripped, which is just a fun fact.
