Caley Rae is one of just a small handful to win state titles for Miss America's Outstanding Teen, Miss Teen USA and Miss USA. In an amazing twist of fate she and newly crowned Miss Missouri USA Sydnee Stottlemyre competed at Miss America's Outstanding Teen and Miss Teen USA together, and will now also compete at Miss USA together. When she was a Teen titleholder her "big sister" was Blair Griffith, who herself was Miss CO Teen USA in 2006. I love how often we see the "little sisters" of former Teen titleholders go on to win Miss as well.
Alexis is also no stranger to the pageant stage; she was third runner-up last year and is the first returning runner-up to win Miss CO Teen USA since 2006! Lexi's win is even more impressive when you consider she tore her achilles nine weeks ago and competed (and rocked it!) in a moon boot. Were it not for the swimsuit competition you wouldn't even know.
In Teen, despite this largely being a competition of first-time contestants, three of the top five had competed previously. In addition to Lexi, 2015 semi-finalist Bre L'Estrange placed second runner-up and 2014 non-finalist Arabella Forcellini was third runner-up. First runner-up was newbie Courtney Robertson and fourth runner-up was Elena Ehrlin.
