Sixth place was taken by Laura Makowski. She had a great year in 1999 and was hungry for more. Her routine was a marvelous gymnastic display.
Fifth place saw Jenny Hendershott making her pro debut. Her routine was fast and crisp with constant movement. Three consecutive back flips brought roars of approval from the crowd.
Fourth place went to Shena Forkner from the Lone Star State of Texas. In her first Ms. Fitness International, Shena finished this part of the show with a bang. She blasted through a lightening fast round of amazing high kicks and flips. Her finale consisted of a full set of press-ups with legs over her shoulders.
