Body still building

Morrone took fifth place in the figure medium weight class of the Canadian Body Building Federation’s 2007 fitness and figure national championship in Edmonton.

Maria Morrone has progressed again in her sport.
Last year, she was Mrs. B.C. in the 2006 provincial bodybuilding and figure competition.
This year, she was almost a national champion.
“I’m really excited about my finish this year,” said Morrone. The 32-year-old Kamloops native has recently begun work in Kelowna as an optician.
Morrone just returned from the Canadian Body Building Federation’s 2007 fitness and figure national championship in Edmonton and placed fifth out of 19 in her class.
It was Morrone’s first time in this type of competition.
“They were a higher calibre of athlete, for sure.”
Morrone has participated in fitness her entire life, but has spent the last five years turning to competition.
She sees her progression as a 3-2-1 ladder. Her goal is to make strides each year toward something new, something more substantial.
“My goal is an International Federation of Body Building pro card.”
She said she has found a balance between work and athletic endeavours and feels the next success is only a matter of time.
“I’ve had high expectations, but I believe in my work level,” said Morrone.
