Debbie Bramwell, IFBB ProPittsburgh, PA, USA - Debbie Bramwell came into the 2007 GNC NPC Teen, Collegiate and Masters Nationals with lots of momentum.  Having come so close to winning the show last year, she had focused her energies and a big crew of fans and supporters were also on hand to lend their support.  A documentary film crew was also on hand so look for more about that here as we get more details.

In the end, it was a fairy tale ending for Bramwell who won her class, the overall title, and the entry into the IFBB Pro ranks that the title affords.

Over the past several years this show overall has grown and the competition in 2007 was impressive.  The lightweight class was won by Cynthia Andersen who was in amazing shape.  Crisp cuts and a nice shape for a well-balanced physique powered her to the class title.

Another impressive physique was Karen Jones who ended up in 6th place since she barely made it on stage to pose during finals.  She sports impressive leg development and if she comes in a tad harder in future shows, is someone to keep an eye on.

Maria Davis took second in the class followed by Angelita McGhee, Kelly Lease and Susan Gnesda.  

In the middleweight class, Janet Kaufman's tight waist and nice lines beat out Amy Sibcy's impressive muscularity and conditioning.  Sibcy's legs were incredible and her overall physique very balanced.  In third was Brenda Smith who had a nice routine and looked the best she has looked for some time.  Beth Wachter dedicated her routine to her mother and  Gayle Bowles rounded out the top five. Cara Lombardo took 7th - she has nice lines and just needs to come in a bit harder.

The light heavyweights were Bramwell's class, and Anita Nikolich placed second to her.  She looked great with her impressive leg development and great conditioning throughout.  Veteran National level athlete Michelle Brent was hard and full as she always is on stage and took third ahead of Theresa Hendricks and Pam Franklin.  Hendricks' hectic schedule was catching up to her and she wasn't as good as she was at Team U, but promises to bring it to the USAs.  Franklin looked solid and tight, but with such a tough class, it was hard to place higher.

In the heavies, it was Michelle Neil who stormed the class.  Deciding to enter the show last minute, she came into Pittsburgh in ridiculous conditioning with striated glutes, cuts and vascularity throughout.  She was on and Emily Holder took the second spot followed by Gerri Deach, Lauren Laplante-Rottman, and Marlene Churchill Wolverton.  Laplante-Rottman made a great deal of improvement in her physique and Wolverton's legs were outstanding.

Kira Neuman - 2007 Collegiate Bodybuilding National ChampionShar Courtney continued her impressive placings in bodybuilding since switching from figure and took sixth. The biggest surprise was probably Kate Baird not being placed higher than her seventh place finish.  To honor both that placing and the hotel artwork, we decided to create a new award.  Named after Tom Nine for his dedication to this show, it is the "Tom Nine Screwed Award."  This years honoree is Kate Baird - view a clip of the award ceremony.

In the teen divisions Lilly Jones competed in both bodybuilding and figure.  In bodybuilding she took second  in collegiate womens bodybuilding getting beat by Kira Neuman who is a great athlete that should have a bright future in the sport.  Neuman has an impressive amount of muscle that looks great on her physique and she's now looking forward to taking the full year off to train and build and to compete in 2008.

Masters Figure also has been growing and this years overall champion Tivisay Briceno was a deserving winner and will make a good IFBB Pro.  Briceno has a  nice, tight physique with clean lines to compliment her tight waist.  Chrissy Burton won the B class (Briceno won the A class) and Jennifer Micheli won the C Class while Natalie Calland took the D class. 

Jan Horn looked incredible and would have made a good class champ and she should be up for a class title soon.  She placed second to Micheli in the C class by a single point!  Other notables included Melanie Hull who's legs and calves in particular were impressive, Brenda James also sported nice legs, while Valerie Tinsley, Cherie Duhe, and Tina Cross-Arabia all had impressive muscularity.

Tricia Temple had nice lines and Milva O'Donohue also looked good.
