Congratulations to Maaliyah Papillion, Miss Louisiana USA 2016 and Ellie Picone, Miss Louisiana Teen USA 2016! In the tradition of past winners like Kristen Girault and Page Pennock, Maaliyah was a runner-up three times in the Teen competition and was also top ten last year. She is 21 and from Lake Charles. Ellie, a 16 year old from Mandeville, was competing for the first time.

Miss
First runner-up in the Miss division was newcomer Bethany Trahan. Second runner-up went to Miss Louisiana 2012 Lauren Vizza who made the top five at Miss LA USA for the first time (had previously been a semi-finalist twice). Third runner-up was Scarlett Blades, a non-finalist two years ago, and fourth runner-up was veteran competitor Christina Famularo. Maaliyah won the Photogenic award and Christina won Miss Congeniality.
Among the top ten were another veteran, Devin Boyd, who has now aged out (I am so sad!), two past non-finalists Kimberly Newville and Krista Toussant and two newcomers Rachel North and Helena Cefalu. Rachel won the evening gown award and Devin the swimsuit award and I still can't believe they both missed the top five - results are still a little raw for me! Top 15 semi-finalists included three-time semi-finalist Alexis Johnson and two-time non-finalist Ashley Barbier.
My surprise that Rachel and Devin missed the top five is equal to my surprise that 2015 runner-up Tanya Crowe missed the cut entirely. I had Tanya firmly in my top five predictions after the preliminary competition. I was also surprised & disappointed that Bailey Armstrong didn't place. Would be interested to hear what others think about the results this year - leave a comment :)

Teen
First runner-up, for the second year in a row, was Katie Scannell - the first since Kristen Girault in 2010/11 to place 1RU back to back. Second runner-up was another 2015 runner-up Paige Goff. Third and fourth runner-up spots both went to newcomers, Emily Davis and Grace Graugnard respectively. Grace won the Congeniality award and Photogenic was won by Paige. I can't remember another year when both Congeniality & Photogenic in each division were won by top five finishers.
Among the top ten semi-finalists were Chelsea Armand, a runner-up in 2014 and 2015, whilst 2015 semi-finalist & 2014 non-finalist Chloe Burkett made the top fifteen.
