This weekend pro figure returns to Florida with the Dexter Jackson Classic. This show marks the return of Mary Lado and Jessica Paxson-Putnam. We haven’t seen either woman compete since the Olympia, last September. Jessica Lyons will be making her pro debut this weekend. She won the second pro card at the NPC Jr USA contest, second only to Lenay Hernandez. Lenay went on to place second in the Houston Pro at her debut, will Jessica have a similar experience? I had the chance to shoot with Kristi Tauti a couple days ago and I’ve never seen her look better. She’s already qualified for the Olympia but had planned on competing in this show for months. Kristal Richardson will return to the stage with a more streamlined look and will be a threat to top spots in this show.
