Cody Plumb traveled from Spokane, Washington to take second place. His conditioning was spot on for this contest and he came prepared to give this division a run for their money. His leg size was definitely his strong point with striations and amazing muscle development that was no doubt the result of many long intense workouts. Lance Sganzini is another local favorite that always brings a lot of entertainment to the stage with his unique posing routine that lead to a best posing trophy. His high energy performance contains a vast array of synchronized dance moves including the moon walk and turned out to be a crowd favorite.

The winners of novice, juniors, and masters performed a pose down for the Excalibur sword that would ultimately go to the overall novice class winner of the night Cody Plumb. This is quite an accomplishment since this was his very first bodybuilding show and he also works a 55+ hour per week job at a cement railroad tie plant in the Spokane Valley. He was able to succeed at this level with coaching from Brad Hollibaugh.
