Teen And Masters Nationals Update

NPC Members and Fans,

The 2006 Teen and Masters Nationals were just held in Pittsburgh, PA. Our state was well represented with more than 30 competitors from the Lone Star State. Many of which I have had the opportunity to meet and others I wish I could have met. As a judge I did have the opportunity to see each and every competitor and I must say that we had a very impressive line up of physiques to judge.

I am aware of the following placements (final results not posted at the time of this address):

Teen Fitness:

10-12
LeeAnn Thompson (9 years old) - National Champion
Daryl Stein (11) - 4th Place
Alex Stein (12) - 3rd Place

15-16
Whitney Franklin (15) - National Champion

Women’s BB Over 35:

Pam Franklin – 3rd

Men’s BB Over 40:

Gus Carter – 3rd
Michael Hanlon – 4th

Figure Over 45:

Catherine Zidell – National Champion

Figure Over 35:

Kathleen Zamora – 6th

After the final results are posted I will check to see who else from Texas placed and update this message I apologize to anyone I may have failed to mention in this posting.

Again, the Lone Star State was very well represented and brought home by comparison a lot of hardware. Great job to all who competed, you are all champions!

I want to meet as many of you as possible, so please do not hesitate to email me or come up to me at any show. My job is to make this sport fun and fare for all. My next stop will be the USA’s. I look forward to seeing many of Texas’ finest bodybuilders and figure competitors on stage fighting for that pro card. Good luck to all!

Train hard and demonstrate sportsmanship always,

Lee
