2026 Rising Phoenix Results: Andrea Shaw Leads Six Division Winners
Andrea Shaw won the Women’s Bodybuilding open at the 2026 Rising Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona, on August 22. The result is recorded on the IFBB Professional League’s official contest page, where Shaw received a judging total of 3 and finished ahead of Leyvina Rodrigues Barros and Meghan Morrison.
The same scorecard covers five other open divisions. Stephanie Jones won Fitness, Cherish Richardson took Figure, Ashley Kaltwasser placed first in Bikini, Marianne Von Gierke won Women’s Physique, and Alexis Drury topped Wellness. Those are the six division winners listed by the league; the generic stage image above is an original editorial illustration and does not depict the event or any competitor.
Women’s Bodybuilding: Shaw first, Barros second
The Women’s Bodybuilding lineup was the deepest field on the page, with 17 names receiving placings. The top six were:
- Andrea Shaw, United States
- Leyvina Rodrigues Barros, United States
- Meghan Morrison, United States
- Sherry Priami, United States
- Ranya Temizkan, United States
- Patti Hanson, United States
Shaw’s score was 3, Barros finished on 6, and Morrison had 9. In this scorecard format, the lower total corresponds to the higher placing. That creates a clean three-point progression across the podium, but the numbers should not be read as kilograms, percentages, or a measure of the athletes’ physiques. They are judging totals used to determine the order.
The rest of the field extended well beyond the first callout. Nadia Capotosto placed seventh, followed by Hailey McGrath, Selyka Givan, Nicki Chartrand, Chelsea Dion, Mayla Ash, Chiharu Nakajima, Marilyn Yee, and Kyna Squarey. Gabriela Pena De La Vega and Georgianna Rowland were both listed in 16th. Reporting the official order matters here because social clips and fan photos do not establish a result; the federation scorecard does.
Fitness used both judging and finals scores
Women’s Fitness was scored differently from the other divisions shown on the page. The official table includes a judging score and a finals score, which were added for a total. Stephanie Jones finished first with 13 points: 3 from judging and 10 from finals. Jeanine Renee Taddeo was second on 24, while Nevaeh Ford placed third with 28.
That split is useful context for anyone looking at the raw numbers. Ford’s finals score matched Jones’s 10, but her judging score was 18. Taddeo recorded 6 in judging and 18 in finals. The combined result, rather than either column in isolation, set the final order. Jenny Worth, Danielle Chikeles, and Danielle Dacosta completed the six-athlete field.
Figure and Bikini winners
Cherish Richardson won Figure with a score of 3. Katlyn O’Neil took second and Elizabeth Nieder third. The official page lists 16 Figure placings, with Shanice Abrams and Brittany Offers rounding out the top five.
In Bikini, Ashley Kaltwasser also finished on a score of 3. Torey Braly was second, Felicia Hughes third, and Irene Iravedra fourth. Megan D’Ginto and Gemma Nanista completed the top six. Fourteen athletes received Bikini placings, making it another large field on the program.
The identical winning totals across several divisions do not mean the contests were tied or directly comparable. Each division was judged against its own criteria and its own lineup. A score of 3 is simply the winning total shown for the relevant table.
Von Gierke takes Women’s Physique; Drury wins Wellness
Marianne Von Gierke placed first in Women’s Physique. Winsome White finished second and Sarah Crail third, followed by Alex Hall, Jeanette Johansson, and Gabriela Linhartova. The table lists 20 competitors in all, with several athletes sharing 16th place at the end of the published order.
Alexis Drury led the Wellness field with a score of 3. Taylor Fletcher placed second on 6, and Gabriela Consolmagno was third on 10. Isabelle Aguiar and Jessica Yamazaki finished fourth and fifth. Fourteen athletes received placings in Wellness.
These results give a much clearer picture of the show than a single winner headline. Rising Phoenix was not only a Women’s Bodybuilding contest; it was a six-division professional event with fields ranging from six athletes in Fitness to 20 in Women’s Physique.
Across the six tables, the official page records 87 athlete entries receiving placings. That total counts an athlete each time she appears in a division, so it should not be treated as a verified count of unique people. It does show the scale of the program: 17 entries in Women’s Bodybuilding, six in Fitness, 16 in Figure, 14 in Bikini, 20 in Women’s Physique, and 14 in Wellness. The larger fields also explain why a results report needs more than podium names; athletes outside the first callout still have an official placing in the federation record.
The event date is equally important for search and archive accuracy. The scorecard identifies August 22, 2026, not the date on which a recap, photograph, or social post was uploaded. Jacked Forums uses the contest date for the result and the publication date for this article so later readers can distinguish the competition from subsequent coverage.
How to verify bodybuilding results
Contest coverage moves quickly, and unofficial graphics can circulate before a federation page is complete. A reliable check starts with the organizer or sanctioning body, then confirms the date, division, and scorecard. Names should be copied carefully, especially where accents, compound surnames, or similar athlete names are involved.
For this report, every placing and score cited above comes from the IFBB Pro League’s official 2026 Rising Phoenix page, accessed August 29, 2026. Jacked Forums has not used or altered an athlete’s likeness for the featured image.
Readers following the wider season can find future event coverage in the Jacked Forums News archive. The site’s Spotlight archive also contains longer bodybuilding features that are separate from scorecard reporting.
The result that will remain in the record is straightforward: Andrea Shaw won Women’s Bodybuilding in Phoenix, and Jones, Richardson, Kaltwasser, Von Gierke, and Drury won the other five professional divisions on the August 22 program.
