My Predictions:
LIGHTWEIGHTS - A VERY competitive class.
Without question,
Claire should win the LW class and the Overall. I love this woman. Her conditioning is out of this world, and her dedication and love for BB is admirable and inspiring. She is facing a tough lineup, but I do not know of a single amateur lightweight on Earth that can beat her.
She's super shredded, and I just hope that does not work against her in this case....we've seen it before at Nationals, but I am hoping that she takes the whole show.
Barbara, Galina, and Tammy will also be in the Top 5 for sure.
MIDDLEWEIGHTS - Who knows...where did they all go? I am surprised to see that Britt moved up to LHW. Tina Chandler should do well, but this could be anyone's show.
LIGHT HEAVYS - Watch out for the showdown between Elena and Kristy for the Pro Card. Both will look phenominal, Kristy should be shredded to the bone, striated glutes and all.
Britt looks to be a LHW this year...it will be interesting to see how she's looks in the larger weight class, but she has some extremely tough competition.
Whoever wins the LHW will be in the running for the overall and could give Claire a run for her money lol.
HEAVYWEIGHTS - Michelle Neil and Bev Direnzo will be battling this one out, with Julia Stamper in the mix too. I have seen pics of Julia and she looks fantastic...totally shredded! Kris Murell will do well IF she comes in lean enough...she has a great shape.
It's gonna be a good one! I wish I was gonna be in the mix, but I'll let Claire take this one, she deserves it.
