This years edition of the 2012 Jr. Nationals didn't disappoint in terms of Athlete participation and Fan attendance at the Rosemont Hyatt Regency Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois next to Chicago's O'Hare Airport! Event Promoter, Pam Betz once again had record numbers with a Special "Moment of Silence" for the late, John Kemper who would have been here Judging as he'd done in years past sans his untimely passing earlier in the week.

Once the show started it was clear the Overall Winner would hail from the Heavy Weight Division in the form of Anthony Pasquale who rose head and shoulders above his class in Prejudging then sealed it during the a final Comparisons and Posedown! Anthony was arguably the most conditioned and complete package onstage all the way to his Tan. He had deep cuts in his quads to match his wide dense Back. There was no arguing the fact that Anthony is ready to move up to the next level, preferably at the NPC USA Championships, July 27th and 28th where he could potentially be vying for his IFBB PRO Card.

Congratulations to all the class winners in Bikini, Fitness, Figure, Physique, and Bodybuilding!
