In addition to the 'open' events at the major contests, 'Masters' divisions are also held, featuring women age 35+, and in some cases, 45+. For the 2009 N. Americans, the division was 35+, and Silvana Salvati took the overall honors. Others in the top 4 include LaVonda Ezella, Cheryl Brown and Mikaila Soto. WPW photographer John Nafpliotis took the photos of the women posing quarter-turns in their bikinis and heels.
