The 2003 N.G.A. Mt. Rogers Drug Free Bodybuilding Championships

On November 22, 2003 40 athletes competed in Roanoke, VA at the 28th anniversary of the N.G.A. Mt. Rogers Drug Free Bodybuilding Championships. While the Mt. Rogers turnout was somewhat off from its past numbers, due to last year's postponement attributable to promoter Dave Spindel's daughter's accident, this year's event featured a very high quality field of competitors. As always, the show was run very professionally - the prejuding started exactly at its posted 12:30 start time, and was completed by 2PM. The finals started at 7PM and were completed by 9:40PM (including a 20 min. intermission). This year every class winner was presented with a $100 gift pack of products from ProTan. And, for the first time in the past 5 years, even with athletes representing many states, the event saw all of the overalls won by residents of Virginia. With the addition of the figure division next year, and the high quality of this year's event, next year's Mt. Rogers looks to be as big as ever. Don't miss this one!!
