MARYSVILLE – Sara Knight of Marysville will be one of the contestants on this year’s season of “Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge,” which premieres Dec. 12 at 10 p.m.

Knight, 30, is a track coach, and her specialty is obstacle course racing, for which she is ranked No. 11 in the world.

“Every season we’ve raised the bar and set new standards here at the ‘Broken Skull Challenge.’ And every season we’ve watched the finest athletes in America meet those challenges,” said “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, the famous professional wrestler. “But I guarantee you haven’t seen anything like the intensity of season five of ‘Broken Skull Challenge.’” The series, which last season attracted more than 4 million weekly viewers, features world-renowned athletic contenders, including Spartan, CrossFit, power lifters, professional athletes, MMA fighters and everyday heroes who face off against each other – and the desert heat – in a series of intense challenges.

The show is on the CMT channel.
