The results are in for fitness competitions

Both the men's and women's fitness competitions, sponsored by Sigma Alpha Delta, drew to a close last week.

Earning the title of Mr. Baruch Fitness 2004 was Lionel Wynter. Andrea Sauciuc was named Miss Baruch Fitness 2004.

Wynter, who also serves as Baruch's abdominal instructor, defeated 23 students in six events to win the title. In individual categories, he placed first in his best event, the sit-ups, after completing 93 sit-ups in 60 minutes, and placed in the top four in the other events.

"I'm satisfied with my performance," said Wynter. "I was not trying to win everything. I failed myself in the pull-up event. I was silly enough to think that no one would beat my 124 push-ups, but Jaime [Muro] proved me wrong."

The top five finishers in the competition were Wynter, with 127 points; Danny Moon, with 119; Serge Bukhman, with 116; Muro, with 115 and Javel Fuller with 112 points.

The women's competition culminated on Friday with the endurance event. Sauciuc won when she completed 3.19 miles in 30 minutes. Her time for this event was better than all but nine of the men in their equivalent event. Sauciuc, who also won the sit-ups event with 300 overall sit-ups, took third place in the push-up event with 70. She finished the competition with 67 points, edging out rival Susan Zheng by one point. Zheng won the push-up event with 112 push-ups.

The top six finishers are rounded out with Maria Korovalova in third place with 63 points, Heridaris Rosario in fourth with 59, Yiling Kuo in fifth with 57 points and Raquel Nunez in sixth with 56. There were 10 women competing in the finals.

All individual winners of events will be awarded trophies and other prizes. In addition, the top three places will receive trophies. There will also be an award for the most dedicated competitor. All competitors will receive certificates of participation.

Prizes will be presented during the Mr. Baruch Bodybuilding Competition on Nov. 5.
