The 2006 NPC Indianapolis Bodybuilding Championships, promoted by gym owners Jon and Heather Pedigo was held on June 10th at Thomas Carr Howe Academy.

Bodybuilding.com was a major sponsor for the event. There were 102 competitors with a capacity crowd of about 700 spectators. The competition was unbelievable for a local level. All three Women's Bodybuilding class winners, Rita Kaya, Marilee DeArmond, and Julia Stamer, went to Junior Nationals the following weekend. Making their marks at 8th, 2nd, and 6th in their classes.

The Fitness Overall Winner of the Indianapolis, Tina Durkinn also competed at Junior Nationals and placed third in her class. From the Men's Bodybuilding Craig Hall the lightweight winner at the Indianapolis placed 3rd in his class at Junior's dropping down to bantamweight. Mark Ritter was the middleweight and overall winner at the Indianapolis and placed 1st in the welterweight class at Junior Nationals.

Trophy's were awarded to the top five finishers in each class, and the men's and women's overall winner received NPC Championship rings. The overall Figure Winner received $100 gift Certificate to Dick's Sporting goods.

Huge thanks to all of the competitors and spectators for making this event a success. We look forward to promoting it again next year.
