The Bikini division had a major moment at the June 2023 IPL Maryland State Championship…and her name is Patrice Hancock.
Patrice kicked off her day in the Bikini Mommas 3 to 5 class. With a sculpted physique, radiant stage presence, and confident presentation, she delivered a strong performance that earned her a 2nd place finish…narrowly missing 1st by just six points. It was a clear signal that she had what it takes to be a contender at the top. And it was only the beginning.
Next up was the Bikini Masters 40+ class. Here, Patrice elevated her game, refining her posing and bringing even more energy to the stage. The result? 1st place and her first IPL Pro Card. It was a tight race, with fellow standout Joey Rutter just two points behind in 2nd. But Patrice’s blend of symmetry, confidence, and overall package secured her the win. A milestone moment in her competitive journey, and well-deserved recognition for the hard work she had poured into her prep.
At this point, most athletes would be thrilled to call it a day. But Patrice wasn’t finished. With two divisions down, she stepped onto the stage once again…this time for Bikini Open Class A. A class that often features rising stars and seasoned competitors alike, the Open division is no easy feat. Yet Patrice delivered a repeat performance…1st place once again, and her second IPL Pro Card of the day.
Let’s break down this incredible debut:
🥈 2nd Place Bikini Mommas 3 to 5
🥇 1st Place + Pro Card Bikini Masters 40+
🥇 1st Place + Pro Card Bikini Open Class A
The Bikini stage just got a whole lot more exciting. Stay tuned…Patrice is just getting started.
In a single day, Patrice proved she could dominate across age groups and classes. Her ability to stay poised, polished, and powerful through each round speaks to her competitive mindset and true athleticism. Few newcomers leave such an immediate and lasting impact, but Patrice did just that…turning heads, earning accolades, and walking away as one of the biggest standouts of the Maryland show.
With her double Pro Card status secured, Patrice Hancock has officially entered the upper echelon of Bikini athletes in the IPL. And if her debut is any indication, we’re only scratching the surface of what she’s capable of. The Bikini stage just got a whole lot more exciting. Stay tuned…Patrice is just getting started. BIKINI
