2018 NGA ‘Old Navy’ Natural ProAm Bodybuilding, Figure, Physique, and Bikini Classic – Super Pro Qualifier
Trussville (Birmingham), Alabama, June 30, 2018
Thirty-five outstanding men and women athletes came from Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Ohio, Texas and Alabama to vie for Sculptured Award Medallions and NGA Pro Cards at the 11th annual 2018 NGA ‘Old Navy’ Natural Bodybuilding, Figure, Physique and Bikini Classic – Super Pro Qualifier and the sixth annual NGA ‘Old Navy’ Natural Master Pro Bodybuilding Classic in Trussville (Birmingham), Alabama.
The athletes were pleased as we moved our show from Homewood to a new spectacular venue, the Trussville Civic Center, with its great stage, sound system and dramatic lighting, the pump up area, the back stage refreshments and their 2018 NGA “Old Navy” Classic sports bag with the official 2018 show t-shirt and a Snickers bar.
The contest started on time and ran smoothly. It was a “competitor’s show,” run by competitors who know what athletes want and need. Many of the competitors were repeat contestants from last year and many said they would like to come back next year for the 13th annual 2019 NGA ‘Old Navy’ Natural ProAm Classic on June 29, 2019. Others said they would encourage their competitor friends to join them on stage. As always, it was a fun show. And next year’s 12th Anniversary show will be our best one yet.
In addition to the NGA ‘Old Navy’ Open amateur show, five Master Pro bodybuilders, three Grand Master Pro bodybuilders, two Figure Master Pros, two Bikini Pros and three Master Pro Physique athletes were on stage to compete in the NGA ‘Old Navy’ Natural Master Pro Bodybuilding and Open Bikini Classic. Darryle Lee from Spring Hill, TN three-repeated his Men’s Master Pro Bodybuilding win from last year while NGA Pro, Paul Redmer from Acworth, GA repeated his 2017 Grand Master Pro title win. Brandon Cobia, from Hoover, AL, who won his Pro Card at the 2017 show, won his first Master Pro Physique title. The Figure Pro Masters class was won by Jacquelyn Rock, from Pensacola, FL, while Birmingham’s Zoey Anders captured the Open Pro Bikini title.
In the amateur competition, NGA Pro Card eligible classes needed five or more competitors entered for the Open Division and five or more competitors entered for the Masters Division. NGA Pro Cards were awarded to five athletes in this Super Pro Qualifier. Daniel Johnson from Cullman, AL captured the Men’s Physique Lightweight class and the Overall Men’s Physique title. Daniel Huitt from Montgomery, AL won the Men’s Physique Heavyweight class, Two Pro Cards were awarded in the Men’s Classic Bodybuilding Class. Kevin Taylor from Calera, AL and David Hood from Mt. Vernon, TX won the Men’s Classic Bodybuilding Physique class. The Open Bodybuilding Light Heavyweight Class and the Bodybuilding Overall title was won by Keven Taylor from Calera, AL.
