Eva Mireles was one of two teachers killed along with 19 students at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The 44-year-old was an avid CrossFitter who regularly attended Shotgun CrossFit in the same county. Mireles was killed protecting her 4th-grade students and had been a teacher in the district for 17 years.
She was described by friends and family as someone who regularly used her fitness from CrossFit to run in local 5K’s and loved hiking. She leaves behind her husband Ruben Ruiz and 22-year-old daughter Adalynn
CrossFit has confirmed the WOD, which will take place June 18, as well as an official fundraiser and Mandi Reading, the owner of Shotgun CrossFit, has set up a T-shirt fundraiser as well where all funds will be donated to the Robb School Memorial Fund.
