Katie Baker delivered a breakthrough performance at the Grand Prix…just her second time competing on the IPL stage.
She opened with a strong 2nd place finish in Amateur Bikini Model Open, then made her mark in Amateur Bikini Open by taking 1st place and earning her Pro Card.
From there, Katie kept rolling, winning Amateur Fitness Angels Open for her second Pro Card of the night. She added a 3rd place finish in Amateur Swimsuit Model Open before returning to the stage in Amateur Evening Gown Open, where she captured 1st place and a third Pro Card.
Katie capped her incredible run with a dazzling Pro Open Evening Gown debut, earning 1st place…her first IPL Pro title.

I’m thankful to God for igniting the fire in my heart and guiding me every step of the way. To the IPL, I’m deeply grateful. Not only for providing a stage, but for the community and opportunities that come with it. This is a group of incredible, hardworking athletes, and I’m truly honored to be an IPL Pro. I couldn’t do this without my twin sister by my side, my sweet husband, and our daughter, Parker. I pray that as your mom, I continue to make you proud and show you that no dream is too big.
