Rising Star Dainier Lanzaque Brings Elite CrossFit Background to Grid League’s South Beach Palms

Dainier Lanzaque is making waves as a rookie utility player for the South Beach Palms, bringing an impressive CrossFit background to his new role in the United Grid League. Wearing number 31, Lanzaque has quickly established himself as a versatile athlete capable of handling multiple positions and challenges on the Grid League floor.

As a key addition to the South Beach Palms roster under head coach Bryleigh Hansen, Lanzaque represents the type of multi-skilled athlete the Grid League attracts. His utility player role allows the team to deploy him across different scenarios, taking advantage of his varied athletic abilities.

His CrossFit resume shows why the Palms were eager to add him to their lineup. In the 2025 CrossFit Open, Lanzaque posted strong results across all three workouts, including a standout 1,726th place finish in workout 25.2 with a time of 7:05. His leadership position at CrossFit Kendall, where he tops their athlete leaderboard, demonstrates both his competitive drive and ability to perform at a high level.

The numbers tell the story of an exceptionally well-rounded athlete. Lanzaque’s strength shows in his 475-pound back squat and 525-pound deadlift, while his endurance shines through achievements like completing 60 consecutive pull-ups and running a 5K in 21 minutes. His Olympic lifting credentials, including a 315-pound clean and jerk, round out an impressive set of physical capabilities.

At 27 years old and standing 5’7″, Lanzaque represents South Florida’s deep athletic talent pool. Training out of CrossFit Kendall in Miami, he’s built a strong local following. His possibly Cuban heritage connects him to the area’s rich cultural community, though he competes representing the United States.

The combination of strength, speed, and stamina makes Lanzaque particularly valuable in the Grid League format. His compact frame allows him to excel in bodyweight movements while maintaining the power needed for heavy lifts. This versatility is exactly what teams look for in the utility position, where athletes must adapt quickly between different types of challenges.

While still early in his Grid League career, Lanzaque’s impact on the South Beach Palms could be significant. His proven ability to perform under pressure in CrossFit competition suggests he’ll continue to develop as he gains experience in the Grid League format. As more fans discover his impressive athletic abilities and competitive spirit, Lanzaque appears poised to become one of the league’s notable performers.
