The final chapter of the 2016 season is upon us, with Nebraska and New York crowning their winners this weekend. New Mexico following the weekend of the 23rd-24th (they've had a number of date changes), and Kentucky is as late as the 30th-31st - it's been particularly hard to find information from them this year and I gather the dates have changed a few times.
Competing in Nebraska this year are three former Teens, hoping to add to this record-breaking year (see more info on that here). The three are 2011 Teen Madison Novak, 2RU last year; 2009 Teen Sarah Hollins, 3RU last year and 2RU in 2014, and first-time Miss contestant Sarah Summers who was Miss NE Teen USA 2012. Sarah is only the fourth 2012 Teen to compete this year and fifth ever! (but we may be seeing another in NY this weekend too).
2015 fourth runner-up Taida Pajazetovic is also back. Jessica White is competing for the first time since she placed fourth runner-up at Miss NE Teen USA 2007!
The only returning Teen contestants are 2015 third runner-up Megan Karas and semi-finalists Lacey White and Ariel Zach.
Kudos to Nebraska for keeping their numbers steady, with 19 Miss contestants and 25 Teens - their highest Teen group since 2007. Special mention to my favourite local title for 2016, "Miss Middle of Nowhere Teen"! Contestant photos can be viewed here.
