On May 10th, 272 lbs. of pure muscle won the day at the 2008 NPC Mike Francois Classic presented by Dennis AutoPoint and promoted by Mike and Shannan Francois. The day began with 110 athletes vying for the top spots in the 11th annual classic held in Powell, Ohio champions in the field, and an impressive 25 competitors in the Novice Division alone! Athletes from at least 8 states made up the remarkable lineup for both figure and bodybuilding. The capacity crowd was not disappointed as the competitors took the stage.
