There was only one newcomer, Shelby Doehrmann, in the top ten. The remaining four semi-finalists had competed 14 times between them!
In her first year competing, Rebekah Christiansen placed first runner-up in the Teen competition. A second newbie, Katie Van Sloun placed third runner-up. Second runner-up went to Baylee Drezek, who was fourth runner-up and whose performance had improved markedly from last year, I was really impressed! Fourth runner-up Annie Moore has now made the top five three years in a row. Both the Congeniality and Photogenic awards went to top five finalists, Photogenic was won by Hannah and the congeniality award by Annie.
