Tara Gooch at the 2008 North Americans

To borrow a phrase from a 1980's television show, we really like it when a plan comes together, especially for people who work really hard! Figure competitor and Alabama girl Tara Gooch is headed to Cleveland this weekend to compete at the 2008 IFBB North Americans, just one week after her engagement to be married, and not only does she have the tools to compete at the highest levels but she also has a very outgoing personality and is enjoying every minute of her journey.

Tara is someone who really jumped out to us in 2007 both at Junior Nationals and Figure Nationals in New York, with her beautiful symmetry, ripped abdominals and long, vascular upper body lines. Over the past few months she stayed away from the stage in order to re-tool her look with the help of expert trainer Greg Hasberry and we can expect a great presentation at North Americans and beyond.
