Groh says he's getting settled in at

[he quality of the competition and
with the professional way the show
was conducted.
But Warlick is no stranger to competitive
bodybuilding. He has been
competing about four years and
boasts a list of titles as proof of his
hard work.
Warlick said he won the Junior
Mr. Georgia contest in 1985, got
second-place in the Golds Classic and
placed fourth in the Mr. Georgia
contest in 1986. He can now add a
win in Mr. USC contest to his credit.
Second-place Hcrlinger said he was
satisfied with his performance. He
said he was bigger and better than he
was last year in the same contest. But
he said he was relieved to have it
behind him.
"I'm iust clad it's . . . over."
Berlingcr said.
The crowd gave Berlingcr heavy
applause for his routine, in which he
posed to a rhythm and blues song
followed by Salt 'N' Pepa's popular
song "Push It."
Third-place Ron Riser, a junior,
won the short class easily.
He was the only person in it.
I here was another guy in it this
morning (at the prejudging), but he
dropped out," Kiser said. "I was
kind of looking forward to that."
