Winner — Kassandra Gillis
This was Gillis’s third pro show of the season after placing second in the 2024 Tampa Pro and 2024 Texas Pro. The 2023 Wellness International champion had to take a win before Sept. 15, 2024, to qualify for the Olympia. Gillis has seven weeks to prepare for the 2024 Olympia.
Second Place — Nicole Salazar-Alpizar
Salazar-Alpizar was impressive in her pro debut. The judges unanimously had her as the runner-up. Finishing second to a top-four Olympia competitor is no small feat. If Salazar-Alpizar enters another competition before the qualifying season ends, she will be a threat to score the win.
Third Place — Taylor Fletcher
This was Fletcher’s first time on an IFBB Pro League stage. The Australian rookie shared an Instagram post reporting that the judges told her to work on her glute development for future competitions. Even with that constructive criticism, Fletcher showed she has the potential to achieve great success in future pro shows.
This was one of two pro shows held this weekend. The other was at the 2024 Arizona Pro, won by Eduarda Bezerra.
