Congratulations to Miss Mississippi USA 2017 Ashley Hamby and Miss Mississippi Teen USA 2017 Hannah Claire Chisolm. Ashley was fourth runner-up at Miss Mississippi USA 2014 but had not competed since. She will be third of that top five to compete at Miss USA, following in the footsteps of winner Chelsea Reardon and first runner-up Courtney Byrd, who was Miss MS USA 2015. Chelsea hosted the pageant this year, and did an excellent job.
Ashley is the third consecutive returning runner-up to win the title. The last USA newcomer to win the pageant was former Miss MS Jalin Wood in 2007!

Four of the top five were previous Miss or Teen runners-up and all five had competed previously. First runner-up for the second consecutive year (the second time that happened this weekend!) was April Mayfield and second runner-up was last year's Teen 2RU Acacia McBride. Third runner-up was Jayce Henry, in her fourth year in the top five (she was also a runner-up in 2014 alongside Ashley, Chelsea and Courtney). Fourth runner-up was another 2015 Teen contestant Regan Ringler.
Among the semi-finalists were 2016 fourth runner-up Olivia Haskins (I was shocked she missed top five this year!) and 2015 Teen first runner-up Laine Mansour.
In contrast, the entire Teen top five were competing for the first time. The four runners-up were, in order, Hailey White, Kenley Brooks, Rae Patridge, and Annie Gibson.
