2022 NPC Northern Classic
Bikini Championships
(Federal Way, WA - September 10, 2022)
Held in conjunction with the inaugural IFBB Sasquatch Pro, this show continued the tradition of standout competitors with very bright futures in the sport. The rest of the
divisions (both Women and Men) will be covered on their respective pages. Starting with the Open Classes, stunning Olya Pickering (in addition to her Masters 35+ win)
showed the style and experience onstage looking confident and nicely dialed in, a well deserved Open Overall Win.

And while the classes were relatively small, outstanding
top placers throughout the show. Of note was Novice and True Novice Overall winner Hailey Franklin from Idaho (Open 'C' winner too), a VERY balanced look, nice development/muscle shape and
posing absolutely on point. A very poised presentation round, can see her moving up the ranks and comfortable onstage as an eventual Pro, excellent stage presence.
Same can also be said for Open 'A' class winner Atziri Jimenez, nice lines and proportionality in her look. Also of note, Rachel Rotola winning Open 'B' class...the
Open Overall lineup onstage was impressive.

The show also feature Hero Divisions, honoring first responders and those serving their country at home and abroad.
