"Roc" Winners at the Eastern Seaboard
By Gina Shabazz

Every year in the month of May the NPC Eastern Seaboard brings out new faces and great athletes that always seem to move on to National Levels. This past November at the 2004 NPC Nationals that was held in Dallas, Texas, Roc earned his pro card in the Light Heavy Weight Division. After his win, he decided to take on four beautiful figure competitors, Chae An, Kim Jones, Renikka Dingle and Pro Figure Tammie Leady. In January 2005, Roc put together a weight training, cardio vascular and meal plan program for all four girls. After vigorous hours of cardio, weight training and not to mention Roc's drill sergeant ways all ladies wouldn't accept anything but first place. The year started in March at the Atlantic USA were all four ladies saw their training partner Bethany Gainey win her weight class and take the over all. This put fire in all of their veins and nothing less would be acceptable.

Winning in the Class A, Chae An brought a complete package from head to toe. Chae has been known as one of the WCW Nitro Girls. Chae had always wanted to compete in figure but never could put a successful program together to get to her goal. She started at 142 lbs and brought a sleek, symmetrical 115 lbs with the help from Roc. Great job Chae!

If you heard someone screaming, "Mississippi", that' s probably Roc screaming to a home boy or girl. All the way from Jackson, Mississippi was the gorgeous Kim Jones. Kim is the owner of a gymnastic facility in Jackson and has work extremely hard towards her win in Class B. Although Kim has plans to compete in fitness, she decided to get qualified in figure. After her second place finish at the Atlantic USA Figure Championship, Kim was determined to win at this year's Eastern Seaboard. She brought a more compete balanced and polished package since the Atlantic. We look forward to seeing Kim move on towards the National Level at the 2005 NPC Nationals in fitness, held in Atlanta, Georgia. Good Luck Kim!

Roc's overall and class C winner was Renikka Dingle, a.k.a. Spydr. Spydr has been with Roc for over two years and has been winning since she's gotten started. She was the Class C winner in the 2003 Coastal Figure Championships, months later competing again at the 2004 Atlantic USA, losing to Pro Figure Champ Denise Starling Steele in the overall. Spydr's drive, determination and effortless style, beauty and grace had the audience in aw. We hope to see this beauty again soon.

Roc's final winner in the Pro Division was Tammie Leady. Taking 4th place and missing a shot to go to the Olympia by 1 point Tammie's new package brought much excitement to all that work with her. From her new sassy hair-do, overall presentation, to a more balance and polished look, Tammie is on her way back to the top. Tammie can be reached at www.tleady.com
