Kara Bohigian will return to the platform on Saturday at the APF Alabama State Meet which will be held Saturday and Sunday in Gadsden, Alabama. She hasn't competed since competing in the same meet in 2007. At the APF Alabama State meet, Bohigian-Smith has broken records in the 165 class in 2006 and 148 class in 2007. She will compete in the 132 class this year.

Kara says that she's "very excited to be competing in bama again...after all i think it's one of the greatest meets in all of PL!!! i just started back PL training about a month ago after a year long break to recover from a back injury. did a major physique overhaul in the meantime down to 132, leaving me more ready for a fitness contest than a PL meet but hopefully i'll have a good day. i'm a long way from my strength at 148/165 but i really like being this weight and plan to stay 132 and try to get some good full meet numbers in this year!"
