Classic Physique Winner — Jared Thompson

Thompson showed much can change in the course of a week. Prior to this show, he finished the 2023 Tampa Pro in eighth place. The difference in his physique was night and day. He appeared leaner and harder with more confidence.

Only one round was scored in this contest, but Thompson won it with a perfect score. The former Men’s Physique competitor earned his first pro win and Olympia qualification.

Second Place — Anthony Barbera III

Barbera was considered a favorite going into this show, even following a ninth-place finish at the 2023 Chicago Pro. He looked better in Tupelo, but it wasn’t enough to take the win. The 2022 Atlantic Coast Pro winner will have to win a show between now and Oct. 9, 2023, to qualify for the 2023 Olympia.

Third Place — Kelvin Hinde

This was Hinde’s third show of the 2023 season. He ranked third in the 2023 Pittsburgh Pro and finished the 2023 Tampa Pro in 15th place. He has yet to win a pro show in his six-year pro career. This was his sixth top-three finish.

Figure Winner — Oyku Basar

Basar came off a runner-up finish in the 2023 Tampa Pro entering this show, so momentum and motivation were on her side. She received straight first-place votes from the judges to take her first victory and Olympia qualification. If she chooses to wait until the Olympia to compete again, she has around 12 weeks to prepare.

Second Place — Lena Ramsteiner

Ramsteiner made her second straight appearance of 2023 with a top-three finish. However, she’s looking for her second career win and Olympia qualification. Her first pro win came at the 2022 Mr. Big Evolution Pro. She finished the 2022 Olympia outside the top 15.

Third Place — Shanice Abrams

Shanice Abrams has competed three times in 2023. This was her third consecutive top-three finish. She ranked 14th at the 2022 Figure Olympia, but will need to compete and win a different pro show to return to the Olympia stage in 2023.
