More results recaps coming up - apologies for the delay! Victoria Wiggins was crowned Miss Kansas USA 2016 on Sunday and Madison Moore was crowned Miss Kansas Teen USA. Both girls were top five finalists in the 2014 and 2015 pageants, with Victoria finishing first then second runner-up and Madison placing second and then third runner-up.
Madison was also a semi-finalist in 2013, while Vicki was competing for the seventh time. She started competing in Teen in Oklahoma in 2007, was fourth runner-up in 2008 then moved to Missouri to attend college using her Lindenwood scholarship, making the semi-finals there in 2012 and 2013. 2014 was the first year she competed in Kansas.

Three of this year's top five were also finalists in 2014 and 2015 and a different three (except for Jessie Colonna) were former Teens! First runner-up, for the second year in a row, was Rachel Morris. Second runner-up went to Miss Colorado Teen USA 2009 Taylor Schettler who was competing in the Miss pageant for the first time. Third runner-up, also for the second year in a row, was Jessie Colonna, Miss Kansas Teen USA 2008. Breaking into the top five for the first time was fourth runner-up Alexis Rewalt, Miss Kansas Teen USA 2009, who was a semi-finalist in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
In the Teen division, Madison's little sister Malerie placed fourth runner-up. One of my favourite moments of any state pageant this year was during Madison's question and answer where she was asked to name her "most prized possession". Madison named her sister, saying she "knew it was cheesy" but that she was so proud of her for making the top five in her first pageant and then adorably thanking the judges for putting her sister in the top five - I loved it!
First runner-up was Gracen Gueldner, who was also a semi-finalist in the 2013 pageant but had not competed since. Second runner-up went to last year's third runner-up Lily Austin. Third runner-up was Riley Alton, who placed first runner-up in 2014 but did not compete last year.
