2010 Fall Classic Bodybuilding & Fitness/Figure Championships
16 October 2010/Saturday
VSU, Virginia Hall, Anderson-Turner Auditorium, Petersburg, VA 23806
This year’s NPA Fall Classic was again small and for the first time did not bail the Pro show out since the
Pro show didn’t need a bailiff. Purpose of the Fall Classic is to provide assistance to the Pro show so the
promoter doesn’t lose his shirt. It is also a very good show for those whom have never won or feel they
are ready to take their first test.
Eleven total athletes showed up and participated in the show. The plan was to have the amateurs go on
second behind the Pro division for the prejudging and perform first for the finals at the night show ahead of
the Pros. We were a little late starting, scheduled for (6 pm) however once we got started things went
really fast! Big arms Batts opened the show by singing the National Anthem and received a standing ovation.
By the time the amateur athletes came out the judges were exhausted during prejudging as a result of the Pro
experience.
The amateur master figure class started with master’s figure athlete Elizabeth Larsen, Springfield, Virginia
and for a lady who is 55 years young she looked fantastic. What a way to celebrate your first title. Then
came the open figure class (Under 5’5”). Lynsie Cavey, Colonial Heights, VA earned 1st place out pointing
the very lovely Alicia Hibbs, Roanoke, Virginia who placed 2nd. This left Cavey and Larson to vie for the
overall figure open title because in the tall (5’5” +) open class Elizabeth Larsen crossed over and won the
class. Cavey and Larsen met in the overall challenge and Cavey who was simply irresistible won the title.
This was also Lynsie first show!
The junior division (20-22) flourished uncontested winner Bobby Puryear, Chesterfield, VA.Bobby was very
well prepared especially being his first contest. The men novice was next and they were all over the
lightweight 175 lb limit. Five (5) heavyweight novice athletes competed for three places. In 5th place was
Michael Jackson, Fultondale, Alabama, Joe Wojtach, Colonial Heights, Virginia another newcomer finished 4th
place, 3rd place was earned by 6’ 4” Kenny Hudson, Midlothian, VA, coming in second place was Lynchburg,
Virginia; Adam Minter, another good looking athlete and the winner of the novice was first timer crossover
Bobby Puryear. Since there was no one to compete against in the lightweight class for the overall; Bobby
was declared the overall novice champion.
In the men masters (50+) there were two; 2nd place finisher and crossover, Michael Jackson. The winner of
the class was David Newton, Chesterfield, Virginia who just turned 50. In the men masters (40-49) there were
also two; 2nd place finisher and crossover, Joe Wojtach, Colonial Heights, Virginia and winner of the class
was crossover, Kenny Hudson. In the men masters (35-39) there were two; 2nd place finisher Dennis Dressler,
Appomattox, Virginia and the tough Tim Rose, Rocky Mt., North Carolina and winner of the class.
When the three (3) gladiators came together to determine the overall winner Rose got the decision with Newton
2nd, and Hudson 3rd. Rose worked real hard for this title losing a lot of weight to earn his second overall win
in the Natural Physique Association (NPA). He won this same contest last year in the masters's decision.
The classic did not have any female bodybuilding participation this year! Not a good indicator for women
bodybuilding. However the show and program will go on as we prepare for the “new bikini” competition in
2011.
Then it was the open men division and crossovers did the job. In the men lightweight class (Under 165) was
3rd place finisher; Dennis Dressler, 2nd place David Newton and winning 1st by one single point was Tim Rose.
In the men middleweight class (165 to under 185); Bobby Puryear was the lone contestant. In the Lt. Heavy
weight class (185 to under 200); 3rd place was Joe Wojtach, 2nd place was Kenny Hudson and the winner of
the class was Adam Minter. There was only one heavyweight in the class (200+); that was Michael Jackson.
When the four went at it for the overall fall classic title Tim Rose won the decision by one point over Bobby
Puryear, followed by Adam Minter and Michael Jackson. Best poser went to David Newton. Of course we’d
like to thank all the fans, friends, families and athletes that made this event possible. Until next year keep on

After all the amateurs did their thing the Pros were bought out. This year the Pro show was the best the
NPA has ever presented in numbers and quality. There were 5 Figure athletes, 5 female bodybuilders and
16 competitive NPA male pro bodybuilders. The women Pro figure division started things off with the first
round (two piece suit custom line up). LaDonna Montgomery, Colonial Heights, Virginia dominated this
round as she led according to the nine panel Judge’s sheet. She was followed by Dena Banks, Chesterfield
Virginia, Vachon Bullock, Centreville, Virginia and Angela Barnhill, Lexington Kentucky who tied for the
third place slot, leaving Janelle Pierce, Spring Lake, North Carolina in the 5th place position.
When the second round (one piece attire) was summoned; Dena Banks gained ground and tied
LaDonna for first. Vachon and Angela moved up for the third place position. In the final round
when Angela and Vachon met for the 3rd and 4th place respectively Vachon out pointed Angela
by one point and Dena outpointed LaDonna by three points. Dena deserved the win and after a
rocky tough year competing in other sanction events she timed this one right and at the end of
the night won the NPA Pro figure 2010 title. Only 5 of the eligible 17 qualified NPA female pro bodybuilding
athletes participated. Both athletes from last year returned and taking 5th place was Karen Romer, Midlothian,

2003 Champion Latoynia Ransom-Harvey, Newington, Virginia and the 2010 champion this year was Stacy
England, Cumberland, Virginia who revenged her lost to Weber in the Masters Universe, NPA Nationals back in
July. These ladies put on a great show for the audience and represented their profession well.
Sixteen hunks came out on the stage at one time. The prejudging was conducted early this afternoon and
head judge Stephan Kitchen took 45 minutes to get it right the NPA. Even though only the top five would receive
a payoff all 16 were awesome in their own way. The audience thoroughly enjoyed them. In 16th place was the star
of the night and at 72 years old Maitland Nance, Durham, North Carolina bought the house completely down.
His routine was one of the best of the night. 15th place was earned by Scott “Old Navy” Hults,Birmingham, Alabama
and 67 years young also had a pretty awesome routine. He and Nance was honored with plaques at the end of the night.
