My name is April Slutzky and I’ve always dreamt of competing in figure and fitness competitions. My love for sports and competition began at a very young age and has stayed with me my entire life. The work ethic I developed as a competitive gymnast pushes me to set new goals for myself as a figure competitor. My first competition was the 2008 NPC Maryland State/East Coast Classic where I placed 1st in the Maryland Tall Class Division and 3rd in the East Coast. Having success at my first event is a huge confidence builder and I’m training harder then ever for the upcoming Junior USA Nationals in Charleston, SC.
