INBF Northern States Super Natural
By
Marian Giallombardo
An amazing medieval set complete with 8-foot hand stenciled
walls, flames and 10-foot pillars set the stage for the 4th
annual Northern States Super Natural Bodybuilding, Fitness &
Figure Championships. On April 30 nearly 60 competitors stormed
the stage at McKinley High School in Buffalo, NY.
Giant jewel-adorned swords, etched medallions and Neils Andersen
trophies were just some of the prizes awarded. The most coveted
award a WNBF pro card was earned by the four new
pros: Nicole Weekes (figure), Paul Iatomasi Sr., Brian Secord,
and Angela Scott (bodybuilding).
Last years winners, Larry Baiz and Valarie Kelly took
to the stage as they walked with the giant swords and ceremoniously
placed them into a huge stone.
Two teens started off the evening. Dan Iatomasi, new to the
NSSN stage had nice lines but not quite good enough to beat
veteran NSSN competitor, Mason Fox. This kid is amazing! His
dense muscles and proportioned body earned him the class win
again this year.
Nicole Weekes, who also competed in figure and bodybuilding,
was our only fitness competitor, and she looked great.

Next
up were the womens masters. These three ladies all did their
homework. Debby Ohayon placed third. Pattie Meegan was hard and
defined and took second, while Paula Franklin with her symmetrical
physique and graceful performance placed first.
Mens masters over 40 had a huge line up. Muscular and well
proportioned, Paul Iatomasi Sr. took the top spot, second was
muscular Kevin Jackson; ripped Joe Viteritti was third; Darryle
Lee, fourth; John Fix, fifth; David Clark, sixth; Ed Mendez, seventh;
Gary Baran, eighth and Brian Chapman was ninth.
Bruce Summers placed first in the masters over 50 category.
Next up was the womans novice class. Nicole Weekes had symmetry
and shape and placed first. Much improved over last year, Debby
Ohayon was second.
In the mens novice class A veteran NSSN competitor Jefferey
Powell had nice quads and traps and placed first (also won overall
novice). Twanta Craig was second; Chris Koenig was third; David
Clark, fourth; Lawrence Jackson, fifth and Bruce Summers was sixth.
In the novice class B, thickly muscled newcomer Richard Sharp
earned the top spot. Billy Kocovski was second; Ed Mendez, third,
John Fix, fourth; Gary Baran, fifth and Brian Chapman was sixth.
Eight lovely ladies graced the stage in the figure under 35 class.
Nicole Weekes came from Florida to win the top spot and that is
exactly what she did. She was poised, had nice shape and muscle
tone and looked very professional. Her performance earned her
a WNBF pro card. An extremely close second, by one point, was
nicely detailed Heather Giudice. Adele Lehman placed third in
this tough class. Tara Palmer was fourth; Natasha Bacheyie was
fifth; Madeline Alvarado came in sixth; Joanne Gallo, seventh;
and Venis Benitez was eighth.
Newcomer, Ann-Maria Figueroa had a pleasing toned body and placed
first. Debby Ohayon, placed second and Vaso Kroto was third.
Womens open lightweight had two very competitive ladies.
No stranger to the NSSN stage, Tammy Patnode placed first. She
continues to improve each year and was impressive. Pattie Meegan
was hard and defined but was edged out of the top spot and placed
second.
Womens heavyweight, Angela Scott was hard and ripped. She
deservedly earned the top spot. Thickly muscled Stephanie Foley
placed second. Paula Franklins beautiful symmetry earned
her third place against some tough competition. Adrienne Priebe
placed fourth and Demary Checo was fifth.
Mens bantamweight competitor, Geoffrey Heusinger was prepared
again this year and once again won his class. In second place
was Paul Stock. Paul had many audience members in tears as he
performed his routine. Paul has MS and his efforts did not go
unnoticed. What an inspiration he is!
Kevin Jackson came from North Carolina to compete. He was muscular
with nice symmetry and placed first in the lightweight class.
Darryle Lee was second and Kai Moy was third.
Mens middleweight competitor Brian Secord earned the top
spot and his shot at a pro card. He showcased highly-developed,
thick, separated quads as well as well-balanced arms. In second
place was Marc Frank. Marcs hard work in the gym has paid
off with his continued improvement. The youngest of the Iatomasi
family, Dan, had an appealing V-taper and placed third.
Mens light heavyweight competitor, Paul Iatomasi Jr. placed
first with a well- proportioned physique. Joe Viterittis
ripped physique earned him the second spot. Daniel Florestan was
third; Mason Fox was fourth and Brian Turnbull was fifth.
The mens heavyweight class was tough. There was a lot of
hard muscle on stage from which to choose. Paul Iatomasi Sr.s
combination of symmetry and muscularity earned him the top honor.
Thick and chiseled Nando Sala placed second as he was narrowly
edged out of first. Ansel Shields was third; Devon Horsford was
well proportioned but needed to be leaner, he was fourth. Irv
Rosenthal was fifth.
The fight for the overall title was tough. All five gave it their
best shot. In the end, Paul Iatomasi Sr. edged out the competition
and went home with his WNBF pro card. He pulled the sword from
the stone and savored his victory. Brian Secord was the top Canadian
in the overall posedown and also went home as a WNBF pro.
The judges had to decide between the hard chiseled body of Angela
Scott and Tammy Patnode, who displayed a nice combination of shape
and muscle. But it was Angelas day as she earned her WNBF
pro card.
