Well this Memorial Day weekend was a great weekend for Team Tadster competitors at the 2008 NPC California State bodybuilding and figure Championships. First, I would like to congratulate all my competitors on all the fantastic work and effort that I know all of you put into this show. In every show more people walk away without a trophy than with one and the only rewards that come from doing a contest are often very personal. So I would like to personally recognize all my competitors who may not have walked away with any trophies but who, I know, are champions. You all did a fantastic job.

At this year’s show I would like to say a special congrats to Shawna Kondo and Nathan Rench. Both have overcome quite a bit to place at this show. Shawna Kondo placed won the A figure class, while Nathan Rench placed 5th in the Light Heavy Weight class. You both did very well in spite of your very busy work schedules and personal challenges.

Also, a special congratulations to Renee Prouse, who competed in the figure F class and to Jameson Stone who also competed this weekend in the men’s middle weight class.

I have written my coverage of this show in my forum. I have also written coverage on the IFBB Pro California show held at the same event. Both of these events turned out to be high capacity this year. Congrats to all my competitors and to everyone who competed.
