Emerald Cup
Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships
(April 21 - 22, 2006)
What can I say, another fantastic event, the news being that bodybuilding is
back in a BIG way. Competitive, quality classes with the Overall going to Oklahoman
Candy Canary who truly personifies a 'people person' within the sport. Mary Hallman
continues to impress having seen her last August as a Novice winner. Stepping from
Heavies to Middles, Karin Kimura sharpened her look from last year's
Masters win. Kudos to Jennifer Valadez, turning her non-placing last year as a
Middleweight to a leaner and much improved Lightweight winner.

Turning to Figure, this is a regional contest in name only. A number of competitors
have been to National level shows and the throng of media interest attested to that. The Overall
title went to Sonia Adcock, one of many competitors trained by
Kim Oddo from all
across North America. Fitness participation was down this year but included
four very energetic routines, Karen Patten taking the Overall. Look for frequent
updates to this section and for more information about the Emerald Cup, as always
it's Craig Productions.
