The 2025 Rogue Invitational online qualifier, also known as the “Q”, wrapped up Sunday night. With that, 56 men and 36 women registered for the Q and some familiar faces are atop the qualifier leaderboard.
But before we get into the results, it is worth mentioning that we don’t know the official number of athletes who will qualify from the Q.
Historically, a minimum of five men and five women would join 15 men and women who were invited by Bill and Caity, I mean the Rogue Invitational. Sometimes a 6th or 7th athlete would be invited due to injuries or athletes declining their invite, but at a minimum you knew top 5 would qualify.
This year, however, that minimum has never been announced. In fact, in an article I wrote in July, I mentioned that the top 5 from the Q would receive an automatic invite. Shortly after publication I received an email from someone at Rogue saying that a minimum quantity of Q participants that will be selected has not been announced.
I interpreted this as there could be changes to the total number of athletes who will be invited to compete in Scotland this November. Historically it has been 20, but could it be 30 this year?
So with that, the leaderboard is still unofficial as video review still has to be conducted, and we know that Rogue is very strict in its submission requirements. Expect big shifts in the leaderboard.
And then beyond that, we don’t know where the cut line is this year. Maybe 5, maybe 10, maybe just 3. Who knows?
LEADERBOARD
As for the current leaderboard, Saxon Panchik and Elisa Fuliana stand atop the men’s and women’s leaderboard, respectively.
Enrico Zenoni and Jorge Fernandez from this year’s CrossFit Games are in 4th and 7th, respectively. It looks like Nate Ackermann (12th), Tudor Magda (17th), Spencer Panchik (18th) and Bayley Martin (19th) are out unless something happens during the video review process.
On the women’s side, Paige Powers is in 2nd place followed by Matilde Garnes in 3rd. Jennifer Muir (6th), Ella Wilkinson (7th) and Kyra Milligan (9th) are potentially in position to qualify if they add more qualifying spots.
However, Sydney Wells (11th), Maria Quintero (16th) and Tayla Howe (17th) are likely on the outside looking in.
Below are the top 20 men and women as of Monday morning (September 8). You can see the detailed leaderboard here.
The 2025 Rogue Invitational is October 31 – November 2 at P&J Live in Aberdeen, Scotland. The current prize purse tops $1.5 million…to be split between the CrossFit and Strongman competitions.
