Gennifer Strobo won for the second time in as many weeks while Anton Antipov and Ashley Kaltwasser each notched the first wins of their respective careers at the 2013 IFBB Powerhouse Classic in Novi, Michigan on Saturday night. Strobo’s win in the Figure division comes one week after her victory at the Pittsburgh Pro and is the fifth of her career. Canada’s Natalie Waples placed second, while Dana Ambrose finished third.
Kaltwasser finally earned the first win of her career after a couple of close calls over the past three weeks. Kaltwasser, who earned her pro card by winning the Overall at last year’s NPC Team Universe, was coming off runner-up finishes at both the Europa Show of Champions (April 20) and the Pittsburgh Pro (last weekend). The win automatically qualifies Kaltwasser for her first Bikini Olympia. Stacey Alexander (2nd) and Courtney King (3rd) rounded out the top three.
In Men’s Physique, Anton Antipov won for the first time in four professional contests. Antipov, who won the Overall at the 2012 IFBB North Americans, had placed 6th (Pittsburgh Pro), 4th (Europa Show of Champions) and 6th (Houston Pro) in three previous IFBB Pro contests. Michael Anderson and Tyler Anderson placed second and third, respectively.
