Lejio Citro
Ms Figure America 2006
Tall Class Winner

I completely over looked both of Ms Figure America Class Winners. My money was on Susanna Selza the winner of the Jr. Nationals just a month ago and no one seemed to come close to her in my opinion. However Lejio Citro, the Hollywood California resident, did not travel all the way across the country to take a loss.  Lejio Citro, slim balance lines got your attention, but she enchanted you with her smile; and smile she did all the way to the winner’s circle

Mary Beth Fitz

Short/ Overall Champion

Even Lejio Citro with her great lines and enchanting smile had to take a back seat to short class and eventual overall Champion Mary-Beth Fritz. Wow! As I said I completely missed her at the morning comparison, but I would have had to be blind and in another state to miss her that evening.
When they called out the ladies for the evening introduction the only question I had concerning Mary Beth was who was going to be her runner up!

Jonathan DeLaRosa "The Dominican Dominator" is developing a very large fan base. This young man has everything he needs to become successful in the sport of bodybuilding. He was not quite as well conditioned as at the Jr. Nationals in August of this year, but still had enough muscle and charisma on stage to easily win the National Jr. Division. Watching Jonathan on stage makes it difficult to believe he was a novice just a month ago? Wow!

Like the energizer bunny Glen Adkins, keeps winning and winning and winning. After taking the Grand Master Division at the Jr. Nationals in August of this year, Glen was a shoe in as the winner of his division in the Nationals. And this guy refused to let us down!

At the Jr Nationals last month Eric Brugh was a little upset at his placing, but rather than cry over spilt milk he did something about it. Now some 16 pounds lighter, this man came to the NABBA American Championship with the goal of taking revenge out on all that wronged him the month before.
From the moment he stepped on the stage I had already pinned him as the winner, the improvements he made on his body in  one month were nothing short of amazing!
