Men’s Open Winner — Andrew Jacked
Labrada was coming off a win at the 2023 Tampa Pro, hoping to go back-to-back with a win at the Texas Pro as well — a feat accomplished by Iain Valliere in 2021. However, Jacked, as the defending champion, was dead set on repeating. The judges had both athletes pose through several comparisons to determine a winner.
Ultimately, Jacked was declared the winner by two points on the scorecards to qualify for the 2023 Mr. Olympia in Orlando, FL, on Nov. 2-5, 2023. Even though Labrada finished second, he maintained his Olympia qualification earned via his Tampa Pro win. The debuting Carlos Thomas Jr. lived up to his pre-show hype, ranking third overall place in his pro debut.
212 Bodybuilding Winner — Keone Pearson
There was a lot of buzz online about Keone Pearson, who was making his 2023 season debut. Pearson delivered might be his best look to date to win the 212 title over second-place finisher Noel Adame. Pearson is eligible to challenge defending Olympia 212 champion Shaun Clarida in Orlando in November. Brazil’s Francisco Barrios Vik was a pleasant surprise for this show, and he was rewarded for his efforts with a top-three placing.

Classic Physique Winner — Jae Hun Park
Many fans of Classic Physique felt this show would come down to Robert Timms and Logan Franklin. Both athletes were impressive, but no one saw Jae Hun Park coming.
Jae Hun Park pulled off what could be remembered as the biggest upset of the season to score the gold and Classic Physique Olympia qualification. He ranked 15th at the 2022 Classic Physique Olympia. Timms and Franklin finished second and third, respectively.
Men’s Physique Winner — Jeremiah Maxey
Jeremiah Maxey was the Men’s Physique winner by a single point over runner-up Clarence McSpadden Jr. The judges put them through the paces to determine a final winner. Maxey ranked second in the 2023 Tampa Pro but made adjustments in the two-week gap between that show and this one. This is his first pro win, and it will be his Olympia debut if he competes in November.

Women’s Physique Winner — Ivie Rhein
The women’s contests had more established favorites. Ivie Rhein won the Women’s Physique show via straight first-place votes over runner-up Alyssa Kiessling. Rhein moves on to the 2023 Olympia with hopes of dethroning defending champion Natalia Abraham Coelho. It was an all-American top-three finish, with the bronze medal going to Ceci Barba.
Figure Winner — Jessica Reyes Padilla
Jessica Reyes Padilla was the defending Figure champion in this show and went back-to-back in the Lone Star State. The 2022 Figure Olympia runner-up was already qualified for the Olympia going into the contest, so no qualification was awarded.
Bikini Winner — Ashlyn Little
Ashlyn Little is on a two-show winning streak. The 2023 Tampa Pro Bikini division winner won this show and defeated 2019 Olympia champion Elisa Pecini to do it. Pecini ranked second overall. Since Little was already qualified for the Olympia, no qualification was awarded for the Bikini division.

Wellness Winner — Marissa Andrews
In the Wellness division, Marissa Andrews earned her ticket to Orlando with the overall win by one point over Mia Samuels-Menjivar. Andrews will make her second straight Olympia appearance thanks to her second pro win in as many seasons. She ranked seventh in the 2022 Wellness Olympia, won by Francielle Mattos.
