Lizzie Martinez
This will be Lizzie Martinez’s seventh pro show of the season. Her highest finish was second at the 2023 Chicago Pro, and her lowest rank was 12th at the 2023 Nevada State Pro. Martinez has competed in so many shows because only pro show winners qualify for the 2023 Olympia. She has until Oct. 9, 2023, to earn Olympia qualification. She’s in her sixth pro season and has yet to win a pro show or make her Olympia debut.
April Conley
April Conley will make her professional debut at this contest. She turned pro by winning her division at the 2022 North American Championships. She competed in the amateur portion of this show in 2022, winning the Masters class and placing third in the Open Class F.
Elizabeth Cunningham
Elizabeth Cunningham will also make her pro debut in this contest. She won the 2021 National Physique Committee (NPC) National Championships to attain pro status. She did not compete at all in 2022.
