2003 Northern States Super Natural
A Roman scene, complete with pillars and flames, set the
stage for the second annual Northern States Super Natural
Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships. Over 60
competitors came to Mount St. Mary Academy in Kenmore, NY on
May 3 from as far away as Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, New York City and New Jersey to compete in this
seven-year fully drug tested show.
First to take the stage was the Figure class. New to
figure competitions, but not new to the competitive arena
was first place winner and Buffalo Destroyer Bombshell, Lisa
Christie. Vaso Kroto was much improved over last year, came
in looking shapely and tight, she placed second by a very
small margin. Laura Barrett who also competed in the womanās
novice class, placed third. New comers Casandra Johnson,
Jovanna Grayson (also a Destroyer Bombshell) and Yolanda
Page placed third through sixth respectively.
Next was the Teenage class. Both competitors displayed
good muscularity, but Andrew Piechowicz took first while
newcomer Mason Fox placed second.
Couples competitors Diane Drago and Matt Viemeister were
both very ripped and placed first. Michelle Chatman and
Irving Rosenthal placed second and posed very sensually
while entertaining the crowd.
Seven women vied for first place in the Masters over 40
category. Debra Schnall placed seventh, Robin Taylor was
sixth, Jacqueline Fletcher was fifth and Marie Misner took
fourth. A very ripped Kathy Klemenich placed third while
Theresa Oas took second. In first place with thick thighs, a
ripped upper body and much improved over last year, was Tina
Rozier.
In the Menās Masters over 40 class, David Klemenich
displayed nice muscularity, amazing quad development and a
ripped physique, earned first place. Mark Dorman placed
second. Newcomer Eddie Mendez placed third, while Gary Baran
placed fourth.
The Menās Masters over 50 was a tough class. All
competitors came in looking sharp, but v-tapered Donny
Robinson II took the top honors. In a very close race for
second, seasoned veteran and always ripped, Steve Orsini had
what it took. Ronald Hinkle who displayed great trap
development placed third.
Coming out dressed as a very old man with a walker and
robe was crowd favorite Irv Smith. Smith was ripped, but not
quite ripped enough to beat first place Masters Over 60
winner Steve Orsini.
The Womanās Novice class was divided equally into Class
A and Class B. The Womanās Class A title was easily claimed
by ripped Tina Rozier. Rozier cleaned up this evening! In
addition to winning the Masters, she won the Womanās Overall
Novice title. Placing second in Class A was Kathy Klemenich.
Theresa Oas, Karen Banzer and Robin Taylor placed third,
fourth and fifth respectively.
In the Womanās Class B category, muscular, symmetrical
and nicely proportioned Angela Scott was clearly the winner.
Shapely Candace Shiree placed second. Joann Kostyk was
ripped but needed more size, she placed third. Laura Barrett
was fourth and Deborah Schnall placed fifth.
The Novice Men were divided into three classes. In Class
A, Antoine King placed fifth, and Daniel Pierce was fourth.
Two points from second place and displaying nice traps was
Jeffrey Powell. Joe Oravecz showed a well-conditioned
physique and a nice v-taper, which earned him second place.
Thick, powerful and symmetrical Kai Moy earned the top,
spot. He should have a nice future a head of him. Kai Moyās
exceptional physique earned him the Overall Menās Novice
title.
Teenage winner Andrew Piechowicz also had the top
physique in Novice Class B. Mason Fox, also a Teenage Class
competitor placed second while Todd Conroy placed third.
Thickly muscled Gary Baran placed fifth in the Menās
Novice Class C. It was a very close contest between third
and fourth place. Edwin Mendez placed fourth while Anthony
Andrew who had a nice upper body, took third. Jerome Downey
who displayed a nice overall shape and muscularity placed
second. First place winner, Jason Murray, had a beautifully
muscled, sharp and v-tapered upper body. This was his first
contest. Murray has a great future a head of him and once he
brings up his lower half, he will be a force in the
competitive bodybuilding world.
With two pro cards on the line, the open class
contestants had a battle ahead of them. Five lightweight
women vied for a chance to posedown against the heavyweight
winner for a pro card. In fifth place was Tammy Patnode.
Michelle Chatman displayed a thick physique, but needed to
be a little sharper, she was fourth. Sandra Lombardo had
beautiful lines and symmetry but needed more muscle, she
placed third. A well conditioned, sharp and hard physique
earned Diane Drago second. Debbie Osborn had thick,
well-shaped muscle and took the top spot in her class.
2002 Open Class winner Joan Bourkney had a nice v-taper,
good symmetry and had put on size since last year, but
wasnāt sharp enough to take the top spot, she placed second.
Liz Wolf had a hard and detailed upper body and a tight
lower half.
In the Womenās Open posedown, Wolf claimed the top
prize, won a beautiful silver sword and became a WNBF pro!
Her husband Dave, thrilled with Lizās victory, bowed down on
the stage to honor his deserving wife.
The Open Men division had several high caliber athletes.
Bantamweight Brad Clinkscales was another thickly muscled
competitor, but was a little smooth, he placed second. Craig
Yarnallās detailed thick quads and well-proportioned upper
body landed him in the top spot.
In what was one of the toughest classes of the evening,
the Open Lightweight class featured Darryle Lee and Matt
Viemeister. Lee displayed a thick ripped mid-section and
bulging biceps as well as a nice chest and back. Viemeister
displayed a classic v-taper, mounded delts, a detailed upper
body and quads that were popping out of his skin while he
fought hard for this victory.
The Menās Open Middleweight class was claimed by David
Klemenich whose finely detailed body earned him first.
Although it was a close battle for first, Marc Frankās
overall package earned him the runner up position. Donny
Robinsonās placed third. Cory Gregory and Timothy Pitka both
had nicely shaped physiques, but they both need a bit more
conditioning. Gregory was fourth and Pitka placed fifth.
Luke Pecyna entertained the crowd with his green face
and body when he appeared as the Incredible Hulk, but he was
back from an injury and placed fifth. Also back from a
recent injury was Irving Rosenthal, who placed fourth. A
wide lat spread and bulging biceps landed Aaron Newman third
place. In what was a very close race, Daniel Florestanās
overall symmetry and muscularity wasnāt quite enough to
nudge thickly muscled Rod Kendrick out of first place.
In the final class of the night, Irv Smith placed
fourth. Scott Newman was thick but he was not as conditioned
as last year, and placed third. The battle came down to two
great, but very different bodies. Dave Wolf presented a
well-conditioned physique, while Devon Horsford was massive.
In the end, mass won out and Horsford went home with the
first place trophy.
Five quality competitors vied for the overall. In the
end, an emotional Matt Viemeister got what he came here for,
his WNBF pro card.
After a grueling day of competition, the competitors
(and helpers) were treated to a most welcomed meal of pizza

donated by the donut giant.
