2003 NPC Nationals: Duval Earns His Pro Card

After several attempts Mat Duval was finally welcomed to the pro ranks in, first winning the superheavyweight division, and then going on to win the overall title. Pushing Mat hard, literally, was heavyweight Frank Roberson, who was a riot throughout the entire Nationals weekend, and in the overall posedown at one point pushed Mat out the way, who responded by picking the funster up and removing him from the front stage area.
Light-heavy Kris Dim was another who had battled for some years, without success, for a pro card who finally found redemption at this packed (309 competitors) Nationals.

However, no one could eclipse Annie Rivieccio in the perseverance stakes by virtue of her claiming her pro card, after 15 years of celebrated effort.

Kris Dim should have taken the overall. Duvall looked good, but somewhat flat and depleted. Kris was fuller and also had a better back and hamstrings. And maybe even bigger arms.
