Winner — Jennifer Zollars
Zollars was involved in a close contest with Stewart. The judges had Zollars ahead by a single point in the single-round competition.
Zollars’ victory was her first IFBB Pro League win since turning pro three years ago. She also earned qualification to compete in the 2024 Wellness Olympia during the 60th Olympia Weekend in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 10-13, 2024.
Second Place — Nicole Stewart
Stewart ranked fifth in the 2023 edition of this contest in her pro debut. She showed significant improvement this time around.
Scoring a silver rank in Texas, Stewart can enter future contests during the 2024 season with confidence of reaching first callouts. She has until Sept. 15, 2024, to win a pro show to qualify for the 2024 Olympia.
Third Place — Alicia Self
Self was the only non-American in the lineup. She received all third-place votes on the scorecards.
The Masters competitor was coming off a fourth-place Open finish at the 2024 Sampson Showdown Pro event one week before this contest. It would not be a surprise if Self competes again in the near future to an equal or better result.
Other Notes
