A Big Day in the NPC
There are a number of shows taking place throughout the United States today. The NPC Kentucky is held in conjunction with the IFBB pro figure contest and will be underway this morning. The NPC North Star is taking place in St. Paul, MN. TheNPC All South Championships is goes down in St Augustine, Florida . The 2009 Eastern USA is another big NPC event with over 200 competitors said to be entered. It’s a big day in the NPC and the last qualifying shows before next week’s NPC Nationals.
Last night in Denver, Colorado 142 NPC competitors checked in for the 2009 NPC Rocky. This ties the record for competitors at this event. It’s the NPC show of the year in Colorado and always ends with a bang. I look for a few National contenders to come out of this contest. The Open Figure A class has 19 competitors and the women are definitely dominating the numbers in this event. Which is fairly consistent with what has been seen across the country in NPC shows. Figure and Bikini seem to be dwarfing the Fitness and Bodybuilding entries.
On hand last night was top IFBB Figure Pro, Heather Mae French. You’d never know when Heather is in “off-season” as she’s always in shape. Fitness veteran Carol Semple was also in attendance with some of her team members of Infinite Sports USA. Carol was also looking in tip top shape. IFBB Figure Pro, Chaundra Tanji has made the move back to Colorado and will be lending a hand with make up duties for some ladies at this event.
Sacramento Pro winner Toney Freeman will be guest posing this evening due to an injured Melvin Anthony being out. Visit http://www.jefftaylor.com for more info and tickets to today’s events. Come check out some of the HARDBODY peeps in Colorado.
