Athletes to Watch
This lineup does not include 2024 champion Aundre Benson, which guarantees a new champion. The three athletes below are considered early favorites.
Chevy Phillips
Chevy Phillips is coming off a second-place finish to Antonio Smothers at the 2025 St. Louis Pro. If Phillips succeeds here, he could return to the Olympia stage for the first time since 2022.
Rhyan Clark
Rhyan Clark finished one spot behind Phillips in St. Louis and ranked seventh at the 2025 Arnold Classic Men’s Physique. He is already qualified for the 2025 Olympia, thanks to his win at the 2024 Shawn Ray Hawaiian Classic Pro. That means no Olympia qualification will be awarded if he wins this contest.
Maiki Ono
The highest finisher from the 2024 edition of this contest in this lineup is Maiki Ono — he ranked fifth. His most recent contest was the 2025 Musclecontest Nordeste Pro on April 12, where he ranked eighth overall. He has been competing at the pro level since 2021 but still seeks his first win.
Other Notes
Another Men’s Physique Olympia qualifier is taking place one state over. The 2025 Wasatch Warrior Pro will be held on the same day in Salt Lake City, UT.
