On October 11, bodybuilding duo Tessa Kelley and Tom Chaney known as Team Phoenix or Team T&T, stepped on stage for the second year in a row at the Night of Champions in Spokane, Washington at the Northern Quest Casino.
This year they were more confident with the experience they had gleaned from last year and from the solid support system they have at home in Bonners Ferry.
Tessa placed 3rd in Women’s Figure and 2nd in Women’s Physique.
Tom placed 2nd in Classic Physique and 5th in Novice Physique.
Team Phoenix will be making an appearance at the Emerald Cup in Bellevue, Washington April 24 through 26. Following the Emerald Cup, they hope to qualify for the Pittsburg Power Festival taking place May 16 and 17, 2026.
Team Phoenix is looking for sponsors to help them get to the Emerald Cup and if qualified then to Pittsburgh for Nationals. To learn how to sponsor or support, send an email to Teamphoenix208@gmail.com.
Team Phoenix would like to give special thanks to all that supported them but especially their coach, Davey Bryant with Dynamic Physique Training for his expertise in bodybuilding, posing, nutrition and Mike Davis, owner of Iron Mikes Gym for providing a healthy and positive gym experience.
