The 1998 strength show had fewer participants than in the past, but the entrants were quality- Annie Rivieccio, Tazzie Colomb, Dawn Whitham, Trish Swander, Judy Serpa, Antoinette (Toni) Norman and Danet Seeley. The events were chinups, bench pressing, curls and squats. In addition, there were two dynamite guest posings- Amelia Hernandez in huge but lean shape, and the 6'2" 230 pound Nicole Bass!
