This is exciting!  Miss South Dakota USA & Teen USA 2017 will be crowned this weekend, and out of 19 contestants in the Miss division there are no less than FOUR former Teens returning - and a past Miss SD, who was 1RU the past two years!  With many other gorgeous contestants in the mix as well the Miss pageant is going to be a prize fight for the crown.  The show will be webcast with prelims at 8pm CST on Saturday & finals at 4pm CST on Sunday.  Miss contestants are here and Teen contestants here.  2016 was a huge year for South Dakota with placements at both Miss USA & Teen USA for the first time ever (and their first Miss placement since the 1970s!) and it looks like 2017 will be continuing on in the same vein!

Having four former Teens back is even more unusual given this very rarely happens in any state (rarely more than once per year on average) much less out of a relatively small group of contestants.  Also, the two most recent SD titleholders are also former Teens - Lexy Schenk (Miss SD Teen USA 2011/Miss SD USA 2015) and Madison McKeown (Miss SD Teen USA 2014/Miss SD USA 2016) - which means in the past three years every Teen titleholder from 2009 to 2015 will have competed (history of SD Teen titleholders competing for Miss can be found here).  The four for this year are Alyssa Hustrulid (2010, 2RU last year), and first-time Miss contestants Kalani Jorgensen (2012), Alexis Rupp (2013) and Marley Hanson (2015).  Marley was fourth runner-up at Miss SD over the summer and will be the first 2015 Teen to compete for a Miss USA state title.

Joining them are former Miss SD Tessa Dee, first runner-up to Lexy & Madison; 2016 semi-finalist Lainie Kessler; and past Teen semi-finalists Jhena van den Hoek and Paige Tracey​ (who competed in Iowa).

The 19 Miss contestants is similar to previous years, however Teen numbers have taken a significant hit, with this year's 21 contestants being 34% fewer than the average of the past three years.

In the Teen pageant, the first runners-up from 2016 (Skylar Ross) and 2015 (Caitlin Fornia, who was also 4RU last year) are both back.  2016 semi-finalists who are competing are Kaeli Carmichael and Tabitha Sonne.

Miss Louisiana USA & Teen USA 2017 will be crowned in Metairie on Saturday the 8th of October.  It is the first time being held in Metairie after many years in Lafayette, and there is also a new webcast provider.

Louisiana has been one of the more stable states in terms of contestant numbers since 2009 and again, both the Miss and Teen division numbers are similar to recent years.  The biggest drop has been the Teen numbers in 2007 & 2008 (and I would assume prior to that, my numbers only start in 07) compared to any year from 2009 on - there were once 50-60 teens in Louisiana, since 2009 an average of only 34.  

Miss Louisiana Teen USA 2012, Marlee Henry will be only the second former Teen titleholder in the past decade to compete for the Miss title - her predecessor Brittany Guidry won the title on her first attempt in 2014.  Three of last year's Miss LA USA runners-up are returning: 1RU Bethany Trahan, 2RU Lauren Vizza, and 3RU Scarlett Blades.  Lauren was Miss Louisiana 2012 and will be competing for the fourth time.  All five of last year's remaining top ten group are also back, including my perennial favourite Devin Boyd who is competing again thanks to the recent age extension.  The other four are Rachel North, Helena Cefalu, Krista Toussaint and Kimberly Newville.  2015 third runner-up Tanya Crowe, whose non-finalist placement totally shocked me last year (I had her in my top five after prelims, go figure!) is back - I'm glad she wasn't scared away!!!

2015 winner Candice Bennatt was the first winner with no prior Miss LA USA or Teen USA experience to win in over 17 years - and she was a former Miss New Mexico titleholder & Miss America contestant.  It will be interesting to see if that trend continues this year!

The Teen group is made up of predominantly new contestants.  Two-time first runner-up Katie Scannell, who came second to future Miss Teen USA Katherine Haik in 2015 and to Ellie Picone last year, is having another shot at the title - wearing the Red Stick sash that she had as 1RU to Katherine.  2016 third runner-up Emily Davis, another favourite of mine last year, has also returned.  The only other contestant from last year's top fifteen is Hailey Crausby who made the top ten last year.  2015 top ten finalist Emma Johnson, who was a non-finalist last year, is competing as well.  By the looks of things the sister of Bethany Trahan is competing in the Teen division, also representing Calcasieu.

The last two Teen winners have been newcomers, whilst the three before them had placed in the top ten the year prior to their victory.

Congratulations to Miss Missouri USA 2017 Bayleigh Dayton and MIss Missouri Teen USA 2017 Sophia Dominguez-Heithoff!   Like Krista in Michigan the day earlier, Bayleigh was last year's first runner-up (the first to come back and win since 2009!) and a 2014 semi-finalist.  She is the first African-American to win the title in the pageant's history.  Sophia was competing for the first time, but had been a prelim gown winner and non-finalist in Miss MO's Outstanding Teen a couple of months ago.  Both are from the Kansas City area.

The entire top five all had past Miss or Teen runner-up experience or were former Teen titleholders.  Bayleigh's first runner-up was Tori Kruse, who was second runner-up last year.  Both Bayleigh & Tori improved one spot on their placement from 2016. Tori won both the Photogenic and Congeniality award - Bayleigh had won Congeniality last year and it was clear that both of the final two were very much loved by their fellow contestants.    Second runner-up was Miss Missouri Teen USA 2014 Samantha Bowers.  This was Samantha's first attempt at the Miss title (although she was a semi-finalist at Miss Missouri in June), and she was the first 2014 Teen to compete this year.  Third runner-up was Miriah Ludtke, first runner-up at Miss Illinois Teen USA 2011.  Fourth runner-up went to Miss Arizona Teen USA 2012 Alexa Zellers, who attends Lindenwood University on the scholarship she won with her Teen title.  ​Bayleigh won the overall evening gown award, Tori won swimsuit, and Samantha won interview.

In the Teen division, newcomer Chloe Bartlett was first runner-up, 2016 non-finalist Elizabeth Anthony placed second runner-up, third runner-up went to newbie Bailey Tiefenbrunn (whose sister was a semi-finalist in the Miss competition) and fourth runner-up was Victoria Newlove, 1RU in last year's pageant.  Whilst Sophia was the clear standout in all categories in my eyes (with Chloe right behind her, I correctly picked the final two), she didn't actually win any of the overall awards!  Activewear went to Bailey, Gown to Elizabeth and Interview was won by Chloe.  2016 finalists Ashleigh Bedwell and Jacqueline Janorschke made the top 15 this year.

Congratulations to Krista Ferguson Miss Michigan USA 2017 and Kenzie Weingartz Miss Michigan Teen USA 2017!  Krista was first runner-up last year and a semi-finalist in 2014, whilst Kenzie was competing for the first time.

 First runner-up in the Miss division was Laura Esqueda who has had a rollercoaster ride after placing fourth runner-up in 2015, then missing the cut last year and now returning to place 1RU.  She was also a semi-finalist in the 2014 Teen pageant.  Second runner-up went to Alyse Madej, a semi-finalist in 2013 and 2016.  Samantha Skowronek, last year's 2RU, placed third runner-up, and fourth runner-up was newcomer Brittany Horgan.

Amongst this year's semi-finalists were Miss Michigan 2014  KT Maviglia and four-time runner-up Sarah Gerberding.  Mari Doan made the top fifteen for the second consecutive year, and Kelly Kirstein made the cut for the third time.  Both have now aged out - they had the opportunity to compete on last time because of the recent age extension!  Treshon Jenkins and Sierra Bognear both placed after previously being non-finalists.

​The Teen top fifteen was dominated by first-time contestants.  First runner-up Alma Cooper and fourth runner-up Haley Brach (also the Photogenic winner) were newcomers.  2016 semi-finalist Alexis Lubecki was second runner-up and last year's 1RU Aria Hutchinson was 3RU this year.  The top fifteen included 2016 3RU Alexis Fagan-Williams and 2016 semi-finalist Keri Martin​.

Miss Florida Teen USA 2017 will be crowned on Sunday 2 October, and I thought I'd get ahead by posting this early.  Contestant photos are posted here.  The new winner will join Linette De Los Santos who assumed the Miss Florida USA title in July as Florida's representatives for 2017.  

There has been a 28% drop in contestants compared to the average of the last three years, although numbers are closer to what they were from 2007-2009.  This is, however, the smallest group in the eleven years I have records for.

Florida's trend is very much to crown newcomers or contestants who had progressed no higher than the semi-finals: of the past ten winners three were newcomers, five were past semi-finalists and one was a past non-finalist (this is taking into account Gracie Simmons who was crowned in 2012 and subsequently resigned; Sydney Martinez who succeeded her was also a newcomer).  Outgoing titleholder Gracie Smith was the first returning runner-up since 2005!  You can see decades of past state results here.

Three of Gracie's four runners-up are back - let's see if they can follow in her footsteps.  They are first runner-up Victoria Fields, second runner-up Daniela Albrecht (also a semi-finalist in 2015) and third runner-up and 2016 Amity winner Joy Mayfield.  

​Miss Nevada's Outstanding Teen 2015  Lauren Watson has moved to Florida and is competing at her first USA pageant - she was a semi-finalist and America's Choice winner. This won't be the first time a former MAOT titleholder has competed in FL, national winner and future Miss Alabama Caitlin Brunell competed in 2010 but did not place.

Other returning semi-finalists are Meghan Bischoff, Victoria DiSorbo, and Lindsey Langston.

IMiss Michigan USA & Miss Michigan Teen USA 2017 are being held in Port Huron with prelims on Friday and finals on Saturday.  Contestant photos thus far are posted on their Facebook page, although there's a possibility of official photos being posted after registration - watch this space. 

There are 54 contestants in the Miss division - significantly (28%) down on the last few years where there were 70-80 contestants.  The last time the group was this size was 2009-2010.  Teen is up 11 on last year, 7% up on the average of the last three years, and their highest number since 2011.

Whilst there were four newbies crowned in the five years from 2010-2014 (including eventual Miss USA Rima Fakih), the last two Miss winners have been past runners-up.  Teen also leans towards crowning newcomers, with eight of the last ten winning on their first attempt.  

In the Miss division, I know of at least two girls, Mari Doan and Kelly Kirstein who have taken advantage of the age increase this year - although from what I've heard there may be a couple of others in the group as well.  Mari signed up the day of the announcement and was at orientation a few days later!  I love seeing how enthusiastically the opportunity of an extra year of competition is being grabbed.

There are no former Teens in the group this year but Miss Michigan 2014 KT Maviglia is competing in the USA system for the first time.  Off the top of my head, I can't remember the last time there was a former Miss MI competing at Miss MI USA!  There's been a number of former MAO titleholders competing in USA this year, so much so that I've done a page for them similar to the one I do for former Teen USA titleholders returning each year.

All four 2016 runners-up are back!  They are first runner-up Krista Ferguson (also a semi-finalist in 2014), second runner-up Samantha Skowronek (a Teen semi-finalist back in 2009!), third runner-up Elizabeth Johnson (2RU in 2015) and fourth runner-up Sarah Gerberding, who was first runner-up in 2015, and at both Miss MI Teen USA 2009 & 2010.  Three of the four 2015 RUs are also competing: Elizabeth, Sarah and Laura Esqueda, 4RU in 2015 and a non-finalist last year. 2013 first runner-up Denice Wimbush is back after missing last year.  She was also a semi-finalist in 2015. 2011 Teen 4RU Jenna Przeslawski, who has competed in Miss five times now but only managed to break into the top fifteen once, is also back. 

2015 Miss US Supranational Kelly Kirstein is back, she was a semi-finalist in 2015 & 2013.  Other returning semi-finalists are Karlen Pitts (2016), Alyse Madej (2016 & 2013), Kaiya Montague (2014 & 2016), Ashley Priest (2015),  Ashley Jones (2016), Stephanie Waters (2014 & 2016).  Recent Teen semi-finalists competing in Miss are Alexandria Kelly (2015) and Sydney Smith (2014 & 2016).

There is also a big group of Teen runners-up back, with only one of last year's not returning this year. The three competing are first runner-up Aria Hutchison, third runner-up Alexis Fagan-Williams and fourth runner-up Tiffany Cicotte.

Click "read more" or scroll below to view the full list of 2017 contestants.

There are 40 Miss contestants, down 15 on last year, but similar to numbers from 2009-2014.  In Teen there are 64 contestants, down only slightly compared to last year's pageant but still a far cry from 2011 when there were only 27 Teen contestants!

There are two Miss Teen USA state titleholders competing this year. One is Miss MO Teen USA 2014 Samantha Bowers, who was a semi-finalist at Miss Missouri over the summer and will be only the second 2014 Teen to compete in a USA state pageant.   The other former Teen is Alexa Zellers, Miss Arizona Teen USA 2012, who is using her titleholder scholarship to attend Lindenwood University and who is competing in Miss for the first time. 

From last year's top five there are first runner-up Bayleigh Dayton, and second runner-up Tori Kruse.  Returning Miss & Teen semi-finalists from last year are Lindsay Tiefenbrunn, Lizzie Maddox, Ashtin Bruere and Alexandria Spry.  Like the last couple of years there are a number of contestants from other states, in part because a number of contestants do use their Lindenwood scholarships.  There are three from Illinois - 2011 Teen first runner-up Mariah Ludtke, 2015 Teen semi-finalist Kaitlyn Manion and 2014 Teen semi-finalist Montanna Neisen.  Tori Kruse has previously competed in Iowa, 2016 semi-finalist Lizzie Maddox once competed in Colorado, and Ashley Thakur is a past New York non-finalist.

Mikaela Shaw of Casper is Miss Wyoming USA 2017 and Autumn Schieferstein of Cheyenne is Miss Wyoming Teen USA 2017!  Mikaela was Miss Wyoming 2015 and competed at Miss America 2016.  This was her first attempt at the USA title, and she will be the fifth to represent Wyoming at both Miss USA and Miss America.  Autumn was first runner-up last year and third runner-up in 2015, when she was just 14.

There was a strong top five in Wyoming this year, which I correctly predicted from prelims!  First runner-up went to Miss Wyoming Teen USA 2008 Callie Bishop who was competing for the first time in three years.  She also placed first runner-up in her first year competing in Miss, in 2012 (she was a semi-finalist in 2013 & 2014).  Second runner-up was Whitney Haugen, who also placed 2RU last year.  Whitney is 27 and had the opportunity to compete thanks to the age increase this year!  Third runner-up was Lexi Revelli, who won both the Spirit and Miss Congeniality awards.  The spirit letters read at each pageant are always tear-inducing but this year was particularly heartbreaking - and inspiring.  Lexi's  brother passed away in 2011, then her father died earlier this year as a result of complications following a fire, followed by her boyfriend's sudden death not long afterwards.  I can't imagine :'(.  Lexi has now made the top five five years in a row, between Teen and Miss.  Fourth runner-up, also for the second consecutive year, was Hope Golgart.

The top ten were former Teen 1RU Kaylynn Keller (who was 1RU to outgoing Miss WY USA Autumn Olson in 2013), five-time semi-finalist Haylee Sauerwine, 2016 runner-up Megan Martinez, past Kansas non-finalist Angela Thomas and newcomer Brianna Keller.
​
In the Teen pageant, Mackenzie Kern, who also made top five with Autumn in 2015 and 2016, placed first runner-up.  Mackenzie also won the Congeniality award. I was happy to correctly predict they would be holding hands at the end!  Second runner-up went to Hayley Stromberg, who was a non-finalist in Colorado last year.  Third runner-up was Miss Wyoming's Outstanding Teen 2014 Addison Treesh and fourth runner-up was newcomer Mariah Taylor​.  There were four returning semi-finalists in this year's top 15.

​Miss Wyoming Teen USA 2017: Autumn Schieferstein (1RU 16, 3RU 15)
1RU: Mackenzie Kern (4RU 16, 2RU 15)

Miss North Carolina USA & Teen USA 2017 prelims will be held on Friday the 30th and finals on the 1st of October.  Devin Gant, who so impressively took over & competed at Miss USA with six hours notice, will have her moment to be celebrated as Miss NC USA and NC will welcome home their Miss Teen USA first runner-up Emily Wakeman.

Contestant numbers are similar to last year, however there's been a 20% decrease on the average of the past three years.  In true NC fashion most of the contestants have competed previously.  I wish more states posted the age of their contestants because I would love to be able to track who has taken advantage of the last-minute opportunity for one final shot at the crown.

There are two returning Teen titleholders, Katie Coble (2007) will be hoping to break her 3RU curse in her fourth attempt at the title (4RU her first year in Alabama, then three years as 3RU in North Carolina), and Kelsey Barberio (2013) will be competing for the first time.  Kayla Hollingsworth was Miss NC's Outstanding Teen 2010.  The only other 2016 runner-up is Kensley Leonard, who was fourth runner-up.  2015 fourth runner-up Morgan Evans and 2015 SC first runner-up Megan Hucks are competing again.  Lindsey Baker and Victoria Vesce, past Teen runners-up who have both competed in Miss a number of times, are competing again this year.  Juliette Gabriel, a three-time Teen runner-up in New Jersey, and semi-finalist in Miss NJ USA last year, is competing in North Carolina for the first time.  I am quite disappointed that another Jersey girl, Miss NJ USA 2013 Christina Thompson, top 10 in NC last year, isn't back... and also that the rumours of the return of Miss NC Teen USA 2012 Kat Puryear didn't prove true.  Please come back next year Christina & Kat!

Returning top ten finalists from 2016 are Lindsey Baker and Erika Turner.  Jessica Lucas and Brittany Pierce are the only returning top 15 semi-finalists.  Victoria Vesce and Mary Helen Moore were top 10 in 2015,   Jessica, Brittany and Erika also placed top 15 in 2015.  Jessica Halso, a four-time Miss & Teen semi-finalist, is competing for the first time since 2013.  She was top 10 that year & in 2012.  

Fun fact: there are five Miss NC Teen USA 2012 contestants this year, four of whom made the top 15.

Contestants mentioned above & a few others that caught my eye:

​In Teen, two of last year's semi-finalists, second runner-up Kaaviya Sambasivam and third runner-up Julianna Morehouse (daughter of Miss NC USA 1994 Lynn Morehouse) are back - 1RU Kaitryana Leinbach is the new Miss US International and will represent the USA at Miss International later in the year.  2014 fourth runner-up Emily Miner, who made the top 15 last year, is also competing.  Returning top 10 semi-finalists from last year are Anna Miller, Jena-Deme Revels, Alexandria Murphy.   Others from the 15 are Austin Baxley and Haleigh Baker.

Contestants for the 2017 Miss Wyoming USA and Miss Wyoming Teen USA pageants are up now!  The Miss competition has 21 contestants, up five on last year but similar to those from 2012-2015.  Teen numbers are also close to recent years.  Prelims are at 8pm MST on Saturday with finals on Sunday at 4pm MST, both webcast for $14.99 per show.

Miss Wyoming 2015 Mikaela Shaw is competing in the USA system for the first time, and Miss Wyoming's Outstanding Teen 2014 Addison Treesh is competing in Teen.  Miss Wyoming Teen USA 2008 Callie Bishop is back after a two year gap - she was first runner-up in 2012 and a semi-finalist in 2013 & 2014.  Three of last year's top five are back in Miss: first runner-up Lexi Revelli, who was also 3rd runner-up in 2015, fourth runner-up in 2014, second runner-up in Teen in 2013 and a Teen semi-finalist in 2012; second runner-up Whitney Haugen, twice a non-finalist in Colorado; and fourth runner-up Hope Golgart.  2013 Teen 1st runner-up Kaylynn Keller is back after last making the Miss WY USA top 15 in 2015.  Other returning semi-finalists are Tori Cole, Megan Martinez, Alexis May and Haylee Sauerwine.

Amazingly, the last newcomer to win Miss WY USA was Abby Norman in 2005! Of the 11 titleholders since then, two (Caroline Scott & Autumn Olson, the most recent winners) were former Teens and only Robyn Johnson had not previously made the top five. 

In addition to Addison Treesh in the Teen division, Autumn Schieferstein and Mackenzie Kern, runners-up in both 2015 and 2016 are back.  Autumn was 1RU last year and 3RU in 2015, and Mackenzie was 4RU last year and 2RU in 2015.  Past semi-finalists who are competing are Ashlyn Braley, Ariana Hauglid, Jenikah Michael, Kayli Turlington, and Grace Turner.

In the past five years, three of the Teen winners have been newcomers.  The last previous runner-up to win the title was current Miss WY USA Autumn Olson who was Miss WY Teen USA 2013, and before her Kasi Johnson in 2003!
