Miss Georgia USA & Teen USA 2016 results recap

Congratulations to Emanii Davis Miss Georgia USA 2016 and Bentley Wright Miss Georgia Teen USA 2016!  Emanii was fourth runner-up in 2014 but did not compete last year.  Past runners-up have now won Miss GA  USA for six of the past seven years.  Bentley was competing in the USA system for the first time but has previously competed at Miss Georgia's Outstanding Teen.

In 2014 Emanii competed with Sibahn Doxey, Miss Montana Teen USA 2011 who was a semi-finalist at Miss GA USA 2014 & 2015.  Sibahn won the Miss Montana USA 2016 title earlier this year so the two will compete together for a second time!

Keila Diaz placed first runner-up in Miss for the third consecutive year.  To be a repeat first runner-up is a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone, and three times in a row is even harder - thank goodness we have Heather Elwell's example that you can experience that disappointment then come out on top (1st runner-up in Maine from 2012-2014 then won in 2015).  

Second runner-up went to Makenzie Blair-Griffith, fourth runner-up in last year's Teen pageant.  Third runner-up was newcomer Marianny Egurrola and Miss Georgia Teen USA 2011 Kristen Robinson placed fourth runner-up.

Among the semi-finalists were 2015 second runner-up Indya Smith and fourth runner-up Kayla Booth.

​In the Teen division first runner-up was first-time contestant Karson Pennington.  Last year's first runner-up and former Miss GA's Outstanding Teen Kelly Hutchinson placed second runner-up.  Third runner-up went to 2015 semi-finalist Katerina Rozmajzl and 2015 non-finalist Ariana Blaize​ was fourth runner-up.
