2007 Nationals Prejudging -
11-17-2007
2007 Nationals Prejudging by Michael Berg The 2007 NPC National prejudging rounds are in the books, but the final chapter of this saga is far from written, with many of the classes simply too close to call. In the super-heavyweight class, Evan Centopani, second last year in this class to overall champ Desmond Miller, is attempting to take the next step up, but has a number of athletes trying to overtake him. Grigori Atoyan, the runner-up in the super-heavies at the 2007 NPC USA Championships, runner up, Edward Nunn of Indiana, and a trio from Texas -- Real Johnson, Stephen Frazier and Daryl Jones -- all made the initial callout with Centopani. Meanwhile, the heavyweight division came down to a clash between Adorthus Cherry, Brandon Curry, and Lee Banks. Cherry, who finished second at last year’s Nationals in Miami Beach behind Lionel Brown, was arguably in his-best ever condition, but it may not be enough against Curry, who was second behind Deshaun Grimez at the USAs in July. Curry wasn’t quite as sharp in the upper body as he can be, but he has excellent shape, symmetry and flow to his physique, as well as a calm onstage confidence. Banks, out of Jacksonville, Florida, held his own in the final callout between the three, and can’t necessarily be counted out quite yet. Light-heavies held to form, as three of the top contenders most likely sealed up top three spots -- Charles Dixon, the 2005 and 2006 Nationals light-heavyweight runner-up, Peter Putnam, the 2007 USA light-heavy champion, and Al Auguste, the 2007 USA light-heavy runner-up, went pose-for-pose in the first callout. Dixon, out of Piedmont, South Carolina was thick, cut and wide, while Putnam, improving on his class-winning shape of the USA’s, was dialed in with notable improvements throughout his physique. Auguste doesn’t have quite enough to win against that fierce competition, but this performance sets him up as a serious contender for a pro card next year. In the middleweight division, a familiar name to bodybuilding fans looks to be the frontrunner once again. Woburn, Massachusett’s Jose Raymond, 2007 middleweight champion and 2005 Nationals welterweight winner, should be adding another first-place trophy to his resume. He clearly stood out in a tough first and last callout with Gaetano Cisternino from New Jersey and Alan Bailey from Atlanta. In the lighter classes, the welterweight class will come down to Stoil Stoilov, Carlo Filippone, and Tommie Robertson; lightweights is a battle between Jeffrey Olcsvary of Lake Charles, Louisiana, James Williams of Greeneville, South Carolina, and Leonardo Pacheco of New York; and bantams are led by Dave Candy of Pittsburgh, Fernando Abaco of Rocklin, California, Art Santellan of Anaheim, California, and John McKnight of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. With the winner of each class getting an IFBB pro card, and the overall up for grabs, the stakes couldn’t be higher in Dallas.
