Alissa Morrison is Miss Iowa USA & Hannah Bockhaus is Miss Iowa Teen USA!

Alissa Morrison is (finally!) Miss Iowa USA and Hannah Bockhaus is Miss Iowa Teen USA 2016!  Last year Alissa placed first runner-up and Hannah was second runner-up.  This was Alissa's fifth year competing, after two years as a semi-finalist from 2012-13, and two years as a runner-up from 2014-15 (second then first runner-up).  She is the fourth winner in eight years who had been a runner-up twice before she was crowned.

The 2015 first and second runners-up both moved up a place this year, with Alissa winning and 2015 second runner-up Kelsey Weier finishing as her first runner-up. Second runner-up went to Lindsay Trappen, who was fourth runner-up last year.  Third runner-up Jenny Valliere, a 2011 & 2012 runner-up who had been a non-finalist the past two years, leapfrogged back into the top five and placed third runner-up.  Fourth runner-up was Brooke Stahlberg, the only newcomer in this year's top five.

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.
