Tahoe residents score at bodybuilding championships

Cassandra Chandler

Cassandra Chandler placed first in the 45+ division and second in Class A at the San Francisco Bodybuilding & Figure Championships.

The Incline Village resident who is a trainer at Push Fitness in South Lake Tahoe competed this weekend in the figure and bikini component of the competition.

Chris Minnes of South Tahoe placed second in the Novice Light Heavyweight division.

It seemed touch and go whether he would weigh-in at the appropriate weight. The scales said 196. In his rather radical diet the last week he lost 20 pounds in 72 hours.

Alexander Huxtable, also of South Tahoe, places 12th in the Novice Middleweight category.
