DeKALB | Sculpted figures in Greek Physique mimicked the chiseled frame of sculpted marble Greek gods. And, for one night, they were worshipped.

On Wednesday in the Holmes Student Center’s Carl Sandburg Auditorium, Phi Kappa Sigma’s fundraiser, Greek Physique showcased 11 men and two women. Their chiselled and tan bodies glistened as the audience showed overwhelming support for its Greek representatives.

There were five classes, determined by weight and gender: bantam (super-lightweight), lightweight, middle weight, heavy weight and women.

“The event went really smoothly,” said seventh-year judge Matt Minuth.

The night began with a routine round, consisting of audio clips, giving the competitors free reign with poses they preferred.

After each weight class was judged, the top two winners from each men’s weight class were asked by the judges to flex eight mandatory poses.

The seven final men competitors flexed the eight mandatory positions as the judges took their time, carefully distinguishing each competitor’s overall muscular composition.

“The top seven were in great shape, and overall, we had a great field of competitors,” said Patrick Reichel, a senior kinesiology-athletic training major and a Phi Kappa Sigma, who has helped coordinate Greek Physique for four years.

Stan Bazigos, a sophomore accountancy major and Pi Kappa Alpha member, was the men’s overall first-place category winner.

“I’m relieved it’s over, and excited to eat. I was real nervous coming in,” said Bazigos.

There was still a women’s winner despite only two competitors. Kimberlee Strickland took first place.
