Competitors from up north stole the show as Chugiak's Cinzia Clapp captured the fitness and figure competitions while 56-year-old Jack Phipps of Fairbanks took the overall men's bodybuilding title. In the women's bodybuilding competition, Ketchikan's Deborah Harney won the overall title.

"We had almost all first-timers and they did just amazing jobs," Pavitt said. "All the fitness people were first-timers. That's so demanding and it was impressive."

The judges included guest poser Dave "Texas Shredder" Goodin, noted Ketchikan bodybuilding author Dennis Weis and Juneau's Norm Knowles, the reigning NPC Last Frontier men's masters bodybuilding champion.

"It was just an incredible contest in terms of camaraderie," Pavitt said. "The crowd wasn't huge but it was so much fun."
