Victoria Reyes Villa
2023 Legion Sports Fest Pro winner Victoria Reyes Villa seeks her second consecutive win in as many weeks. Her last victory qualified her for the 2023 Olympia in Orlando, FL, on Nov. 2-5, 2023, but this one could serve as an evaluation of her physique for Orlando and qualify her for the following year’s Olympia. Considering she’s wrapping up her rookie season, winning her first two contests and qualifying for two Olympias would be a rare feat.
Brittanie Molina
Brittanie Molina’s last appearance onstage was at the 2023 Arizona Pro, where she ranked eighth overall. She shifted from Figure to Wellness smoothly but still seeks her first pro victory. This is a smaller roster, so Molina will get more attention from the judges. This could be where she tastes victory for the first time.
Yuridia Morales
This will be Yuridia Morales’ pro debut. She earned her pro card at the 2023 NPC Worldwide Amateur Olympia Portugal show. A contest of this size is a great way to get the feet wet in the pro ranks. Morales may not have as much experience as most of her competitors, but she has the physique to score well.
