Winner — Bruna Seredich
Seredich has finished in the top 10 at the Olympia twice in her career. She was expected to be a contender in this show due to that experience. This was Seredich’s first contest appearance of 2024. She achieved a perfect score from the judges — the head judge was Steve DeVore.
Seredich has options thanks to her win. She can either focus on her third career Olympia appearance or continue competing throughout the season. If she competes and wins more pro shows, she can block other competitors from qualifying for the 2024 Olympia since only pro show winners earn Olympia spots. Her Olympia spot remains secure even if she competes again and doesn’t win.
Second Place — Cassandra Pennington
Pennington received all second-place votes on the scorecards to kick off her second year in the pro ranks. This was her third career pro show after previously ranking second at the 2023 Southern California Pro. To qualify for the 2024 Olympia, Pennington must score a pro show win before the Sept. 15, 2024 cutoff.
Third Place — Natalia Vasco
Vasco turned pro in 2022. She’s finished in the top three in all three of her pro shows thus far. Her most recent appearance before this show was in 2022 at the Shawn Ray Hawaiian Classic, where she ranked third. Vasco did not compete in the 2023 season.
Other Notes
Alicia Self of Australia was the fourth-place finisher in this competition. Self also won the Masters Over 35 division at this contest. The Over 40 winner was Jenny Smith, who finished the Open show in seventh place.
The next Wellness division contest on the 2024 season schedule is the Houston Tournament of Champions Pro in The Woodlands, TX, on Saturday, Mar. 30, 2024. The 2023 champion was Amanda Burnett.
