Men’s Physique Winner — Jason Huynh
This show marked the 2023 season debut of Jeremy Potvin, who was considered a favorite to win this show, but Huynh pulled off the upset. Prior to this show, Huynh was fifth at the 2023 Mile High Pro. This was Huynh’s third pro victory. It enables his return to the Olympia stage in 2023, where he’ll aim to crack the top 15, something he failed to do so in 2022.
Potvin ranked as the runner-up and will need to score his first pro win since 2019 to return to the Olympia stage, where he’s placed as high as fourth. However, he hasn’t made it to the Olympia since 2020, as he took 2021 off and failed to qualify in 2022.
Bikini Division Winner — Lexus Redmond
The Bikini division saw an unexpected winner as well, as India Paulino was considered the favorite at this contest. However, Lexus Redmond ranked ahead of her on the scorecards. Redmond was on the upswing this season after finishing fifth at the 2023 Pittsburgh Pro and second at the 2023 Dallas Pro. If she competes in the Olympia, it will be her second career appearance — she ranked outside the top 15 in 2020.

The bronze was awarded to Tracy Williams.
