Winner — Jourdanne Lee
Some skeptics may have thought Lee gambled, making her 2024 season debut three weeks before the qualifying season ends on Sept. 15, 2024. However, Lee had a game plan and executed it.
Thanks to her ninth career pro win, Lee can devote the last seven weeks before the Olympia to improving and finishing better than her 10th-place finish at the 2023 Olympia.
Second Place — Ashley Hampton
Hampton competed for the fifth time this season and scored her third consecutive runner-up finish. She has not finished below fifth in 2024 but needs gold before the cutoff date to move on to the Olympia — only pro show winners advance to that stage.
Third Place — Iulia Baba
This was Baba’s eighth show of her 2024 campaign and her fourth top-three finish. The scorecards reflect that the judges all agreed on the order of finish.
Baba previously planned to enter the 2024 San Antonio Pro on Sept. 14, 2024, which is the final weekend of the qualifying season. She finished second in the 2023 edition of that contest, which Lee won. Baba could enter the Bikini division pro shows over the next two weekends as well.
