In the Teen division, newcomer Chloe Bartlett was first runner-up, 2016 non-finalist Elizabeth Anthony placed second runner-up, third runner-up went to newbie Bailey Tiefenbrunn (whose sister was a semi-finalist in the Miss competition) and fourth runner-up was Victoria Newlove, 1RU in last year's pageant. Whilst Sophia was the clear standout in all categories in my eyes (with Chloe right behind her, I correctly picked the final two), she didn't actually win any of the overall awards! Activewear went to Bailey, Gown to Elizabeth and Interview was won by Chloe. 2016 finalists Ashleigh Bedwell and Jacqueline Janorschke made the top 15 this year.
