The first weekend in May is always special to NPC Athletes. The NPC elite flock to the city of Pittsburgh to compete in President Jim Manion's NPC Pittsburgh Championships. It truly is a show where future champions are made. In 2009 in the inaugural Bikini event, Jaime Baird took the title and Andria Watson captured the Figure Division & Elizabeth Earhart won the Masters Figure title, Last year, two unknowns, Vanessa Campbell (Bikini) & Kristen Nagrani (Figure) took the titles. In 2011, someone will seize the opportunity and own the day. The following preview is a brief spotlight on some and by no means all of the top competitors scheduled to compete that may just be that person who seizes the day.
With some of the best NPC Bikini talent coming out of the States of Florida, Texas & California, it's always a pleasant surprise to see someone from the cold weather States to emerge as someone to watch at the National level. This is especially true when your a perfectly proportioned F Class blue eyed blonde with cover model looks. Such is the case with NPC Bikini Athlete Meredith Long who this weekend takes a huge step in her career taking on the competitive field at the 2011 NPC Pittsburgh.
Meredith, who is currently living in Hagerstown Maryland is hoping to keep her hot streak on a role. Last Fall, Meredith won the Overall NPC Bikini Championships at the 2010 NPC Ft. Lauderdale Cup. This very competitive and deep contest showcased National level competition.
Cora Leigh Hutchinson from South Florida is coming off a Bikini Class win and Bikini Masters win at the 2010 Ft. Lauderdale Cup. Cora Leigh was barely inched out by Meredith Long for the Overall. This exotic beauty who works as a Pharmaceutical Rep has all the tools to pull off a win. She has not competed in 2011 because she wanted to focus on making improvements that could give her the edge at the Pittsburgh Championships.

Bikini Athlete Dianna Graham from the State of Washington is also someone to watch. Dianna was the Overall Bikini Champion at the 2010 NPC Eastern USA's in NYC last Fall and most recently earned a third place finish at the NPC Arnold Amateur. This Top 6 2010 NPC Nationals Athlete has a great physique and is someone to keep an eye on.
Figure Athlete Kimberly Breshingham fromChicago is no rookie to the NPC stage. This stunning F Class Figure Athlete has spent the last 12 months improving her physique and intends to bring her best package to the stage. Kimberly has made leaps and bounds in her overall package.
Texan firecracker Rebecca Schubeck is in search of her second Overall NPC Regional Competition. Last year, Rebecca won the 2010 NPC Coastal USA and earned a top 6 spot at the 2010 NPC Nationals. This super cute "hardbody" is a legitimate threat.
Last but not least, South Carolina native Christy Sequin is on a true mission. Christy won her Class at the 2010 Master Nationals and earned a top 5 spot at the 2010 NPC Nationals. Christy steadily improved last season and her refinements made this year may be the added edge she needs to make this her day.
The 2011 NPC Pittsburgh is set to be another great show. The talent will certainly be rich and deep. As a fan of our sport, if you have the opportunity to attend, you must. There is something very special about this show and the entertainment value is priceless.
