2003 NPC Jr. Nationals
Hot Weekend in the Windy City (June 13 - 14, 2003) Once again, this prestigous event graced the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, Illinois. With pro-cards being handed out to the winners in each of 4 height classes, this division dominated the proceedings, 102 competitors, everyone of whom could stop traffic wherever photoshoots were taking place. As far as bodybuilding goes, just as last year, could signal a changing of the guard. As young heavyweights Sarah Dunlap and Heather Policky came into their own at that time, the middleweight class could do likewise in the upcoming USA's and Nationals. With Dena Westerfield setting her sights on Nationals, the rest of the field could be headed for a rematch at the USA's. Elena Seiple, one of the favorites for that show was here checking out the competition no doubt <g> and with veterans like Michelle Ivers reportedly joining the mix, Vegas in late July is the place to be. On a personal note, was great to reaquaint myself with competitors from last year and really appreciated the positive feedback. And finally, thanks to Pam Betz for continuing to promote these great events. For now, here's a cross-section of some of the highlights. Enjoy!
