OLUMBIA, Mo. • When Brooke Wells, 22, graduates from the University of Missouri in May, her degree will say business. But she will leave with unofficial degrees in brand management, sports medicine, athletic training — the list goes on — because of how she spends her time outside of class.
Wells is dubbed 2017’s 14th “fittest woman on Earth,” which, in the world of CrossFit, means she came in at No. 14 out of the 40 women who qualified for the CrossFit Games in August.
In 2016, she finished sixth. The year before that, her first year competing on the global stage, she was 16th.
