2024 Houston Tournament of Champions Pro Wellness Division Show Preview

Eight athletes will face off in the Lone Star State.

Written by Roger Lockridge
Last updated on March 29th, 2024

The 2024 Houston Tournament of Champions Pro show will occur in The Woodlands, TX, on Saturday, March 30, 2024. The headline of this event will be the IFBB Pro League Wellness division, and eight athletes are slated to grace the stage and face the judges.

The contest’s winner will earn qualification to the 2024 Wellness Olympia on Oct. 10-13, 2024, in Las Vegas, NV. Going into the 2024 Houston Tournament of Champions, none of the contestants have yet qualified for the 2024 Olympia. The roster for this show is below, with names in alphabetical order, courtesy of the IFBB Pro League website:

2024 Houston Tournament of Champions Pro Roster

  • Juliane Almeida (United States)
  • Amanda Burnett (United States)
  • Nicollette Burns (United States)
  • Haley Johnson (United States)
  • Cassandra Pennington (United States)
  • Alicia Self (Australia)
  • Nicole Stewart (United States)
  • Jennifer Zollars (United States)

Amanda Burnett

Amanda Burnett is the defending champion, having won it in 2023. She will aim to repeat as champion and earn that Olympia qualification. Burnett competed in the 2023 Wellness Olympia in Orlando, FL, finishing outside the top 15.

Burnett was also the 2022 Legion Sports Fest Pro winner. She is coming off a fifth-place finish at the 2024 Wellness International UK event in Birmingham, England.

Jennifer Zollars

Jennifer Zollars ranked second to Burnett in the 2023 edition of this contest. She finished in the top five of all five pro shows she competed in during the 2023 season with two silver placings but did not achieve a win and, therefore, did not advance to the 2023 Olympia.

Zollars kicks off her third pro season at this show and hopes to secure her first victory in the pro ranks. The rematch with Burnett will certainly be one to watch.

Cassandra Pennington

Casandra Pennington was the runner-up to Bruna Seredich at the 2024 Sampson Showdown Pro show on March 23, 2024. Although that rank didn’t score Pennington qualification for the Olympia, she can still make it to bodybuilding’s grandest stage by winning a pro show before Sept. 15, 2024.

This will be the second show of Pennington’s second pro season. She kicked off her pro career in 2023 with two shows. Her best finish was silver at the Southern California Pro.
