2005 NPC Jr. National Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Championships

June 17-18, 2005

Rosemont, IL, USA - Riding into the middle of the arc of the 2005 competitive season, fans got to see a bit of the direction that the judges were going in as the Jr Nationals took over the Hyatt Regency O'Hare.

Bodybuilders got finished with their prejudging on Friday evening and all four classes had solid talent, but many of the most conditioned athletes were punished including Michelle Neil who's placing was greeted by the loudest chorus of boos of the entire contest. Neil was ripped and thick throughout and the message was that being well conditioned like that would result in a penalty in placement.

On the flip side, there were a lot of very feminine women competing and the audience response to them was fantastic. Notables include Ann Dana, Jen Chehardy, Melissa Dettwiller, Dorothy Trojanowicz and Krissy Murrell among many others.

So the direction seems to be set and it will be interesting to see how things shake out at the USAs this year which will be ultra-competitive with many top athletes planning on stepping on stage.

The lightweights were a solid class and rising star Jennifer Chehardy (at left in pink) presented a nice, crisp physique that included one of the best back v-tapers and very nice conditioning. Chehardy is trained by Robin Parker and the young protege may compete again this year so keep your eyes open for her.

Ann Dana placed second to Chehardy and is planning to compete at Masters Nationals although she could probably pass for a collegiate at the Teen, Collegiate and Master Nationals.

The middleweights was probably the surprise class with Shannon Young storming to take the class and then the overall. Young is trained by Howard Huddleston who's reputation is growing with his impressive client list which includes 2004 National Champion and current IFBB Pro, Gina Davis. Behind young was Tracy Mason who had won this same class at the same show a few years ago. Michele Smith showed a nice sleek physique and her martial arts background was evident in her smooth and fluid movements on stage.

As the lightheavies walked out, you immediately had to notice Neil who was shredded and huge. However, Alicia St. Germaine took the class with her balanced shape and softer look. Following St. Germaine was Melissa Dettwiller. The curvy blonde has impressive legs and great stage presence and she edged veteran Holly Geerson who's quads were definitely the best of the class.

Following Neil in fifth place was newcomer Dorothy Trojanowicz. The Polish bodybuilder lives in Chicago and had an entertaining routine and was incredible expressive on stage. Look for some photos of her offstage and look for her to impress next year when she takes stage again.

That left the heavyweight class which was won by former Musclemania champion Bettina Kadet. Kadet has great lines and the widest lats. Melissa Metzler followed Kadet, and Kim Buck took third although that announcement was accompanied with a round of boos as well. Buck has tiny joints and very full muscle bellies and was very cut. Again, another statement by the judges.

Local Chicago resident Jennifer Abrams took fourth ahead of Kris Murrell who probably had the best routine of all the bodybuilders showcasing fantastic agility and stage presence. Murrell has great muscle density and size and if she can lean down a shade more should be a threat to take the class in future competitions.

Of note was the fact that Kadet was able to compete in a National level show and she wasn't a citizen of the United States. The Jr Nationals is the only national level show that only requires that you be a US resident vs. a citizen so Kadet, a German was able to compete.

The fitness competition was deeper than in the past and a lot of the competitors were impressive in both their physiques and routines.

In the short class, Jessica Rohm won the class ahead of the impressive Heidi Fletcher. Fletcher had the best routine while Rohm's physique and strong routine powered her to the win. Breean Loepp looked fantastic as well and Adrienne Gatch took fourth just ahead of former Fitness America athlete, Valerie Stephens. All five looked great for a solid fitness A Class.

Class B was won by Corry Matthews who continues a hot competitive season and she edged out Lousiana's Angela English. Susan Groshek performed well and she beat out Tara Carillo who looks to have added some muscle.

The C class was won by Bridgette Murray. Murray was coming off a strong showing at the Emerald Cup where many of the other fitness athletes had competed and looks primed to earn her pro card this year. Jessica Booth, one of Carla Sanchez's girls took second as the state of Colorado swept the top two places.

Of course it was all about figure as there were four pro cards up for grabs and plenty of women in each of the four divisions with the largest class having 42 competitors.

The A class stood for Amy, as Amy Peters got her long awaited Pro Card by edging out an impressive lineup that featured new faces like Alexandra Galvez and Karen Zaremba as well as established competitors like Rebecca Rush. Of course it may have been Andrea Dumon who may be the most promising new face on the figure circuit. Although she placed fourth, Dumon will have a good chance to turn pro and join Peters in the pros later this year at the USAs or Team Universe.

Other notables in the class include Michelle Woodward, Angela Komis and Tinamarie Bloomfield who all posses nice physiques with good v-tapers.

In the B class, Zhanna Rotar looked amazing, but the judges picked Tammy Pies to win the class and turn pro ahead of her. Rotar has a tiny waist, a great look and always comes in lean so she should be a threat to turn pro later this year too. Jeannette Freed continues to plug away and was close but not as tight as the top two. Andrea Ferry looked good with impressive delts, while Kristine Chin looked great, but was deemed too muscular by the judges and was tied for 16th which was the same fate suffered by Dara Trager.

Heidi Turner was definitely overlooked as was Tamara Amend who both looked good, but being overlooked was a common thing in these large classes and some of the judging panel even admitted to that.

The C class, the largest of the competition was won by Jessica Paxson who edged out Danielle Hollenshade. Like Rotar, Hollenshade was similarly sharp and should be primed to win her class later this year. Stephanie Collins looked tremendous and took third ahead of Jessica Booth and Natlie Verges.

Dawn Parker looked nice and thick and the most overlooked competitor may have been Traci Redding. Redding looked crisp, tight and showed incredible stage presence but the judges didn't take notice which was a travesty. Of course they will not be able to miss her the next time out if she comes in like she did this time. Keep your eyes peeled for her at the USAs.

Elisa Archibald was another solid competitor who has a really tiny waist and looked great, but didn't place as high. She was a tad soft though and could do well with more size.

The final class was Valerie Waugaman's and the tall brunette showcased an incredible v-taper and shape to win the class and overall. New faces were the order of the day in the class as Simona Douglas took second ahead of veteran Ali Metkovich. Alexis Ellis continues her hot streak riding her Ironman championship and is one of the more muscular figure competitors. Amy Fry rounded out the top five and she too has an incredible v-taper.

That could be said of Jessica Wright who placed 11th although with her incredible structure, she should easily be able to place higher. Some of the surprises in the class may have been the placing of Michelle Troll who was coming off her Emerald Cup championship. Misty Green who placed 2nd to Troll at the same competition took sixth and Randi Post took ninth just ahead of Troll.

Post looked awesome coming in well conditioned and with a little more muscle which she carries incredibly well. Post should keep rising up the ranks and will be competing more this year. Shelly Taucher was very defined and thick and took seventh.
