First runner-up in the Miss division was Laura Esqueda who has had a rollercoaster ride after placing fourth runner-up in 2015, then missing the cut last year and now returning to place 1RU. She was also a semi-finalist in the 2014 Teen pageant. Second runner-up went to Alyse Madej, a semi-finalist in 2013 and 2016. Samantha Skowronek, last year's 2RU, placed third runner-up, and fourth runner-up was newcomer Brittany Horgan.
Amongst this year's semi-finalists were Miss Michigan 2014 KT Maviglia and four-time runner-up Sarah Gerberding. Mari Doan made the top fifteen for the second consecutive year, and Kelly Kirstein made the cut for the third time. Both have now aged out - they had the opportunity to compete on last time because of the recent age extension! Treshon Jenkins and Sierra Bognear both placed after previously being non-finalists.
The Teen top fifteen was dominated by first-time contestants. First runner-up Alma Cooper and fourth runner-up Haley Brach (also the Photogenic winner) were newcomers. 2016 semi-finalist Alexis Lubecki was second runner-up and last year's 1RU Aria Hutchinson was 3RU this year. The top fifteen included 2016 3RU Alexis Fagan-Williams and 2016 semi-finalist Keri Martin.
