This was the 9th year of this contest. For the first time in the decade-plus history of women's fitness pageants, a mother has won a major fitness title, marking a precedent in the tradition of this exciting sport.

This, despite a tightening of qualifying standards for the 1998 season. A sold-out audience of 1,500 was on hand to watch what America now recognizes as the top fitness contest.
