2014 HIT Emerald Cup IFBB Championships - Pro Figure
(Bellevue, WA - Apr. 25-26, 2014)
For the first time since 2005, an IFBB Pro show has been held in the Pacific Northwest. In conjunction with the Emerald Cup which is the largest NPC regional
amateur show in the country, top IFBB Pros in Figure and Women's Physique were invited to participate. The Figure division saw 23 athletes vie for the win. To
show you the loyalty and great respect the fitness community has for promoters Brad and Elaine Craig, IFBB Pro's who do not even normally participate in the
particular category made it a point to enter!

Included were athletes who won their Pro Card in both the United States and Canada. Texan Dana Ambrose took first place and with such an amazing group
of competitors onstage, quite an accomplishment. For this reporter who doesn't normally get to IFBB shows, I wasn't up to speed on who was who, with
the exception of those from Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Among those who really stood out for me were Wendy Fortino and Bojana Vasiljevic from
California, Bojana originally from Serbia.

A number of competitors who I'd photographed before so great to see them onstage...Victoria Adelus, Meredith Berthelson, Leah Berti, Erin Harding,
Rose Hendricks, Francesca Lauren and Kiana Phi. There's a list on this page of competitor names and their button number. And finally, I'd like to thank the promoters Brad and Elaine Craig and the title sponsors HIT who made this event possible.
