In Teen, the only finalist competing again is first runner-up Hellen Smith, with semi-finalists Lauren Lugafet and Kailey Salzillo also returning.
I think I spy two sisters of past contestants in the roster - Natalie Blakley, sister of 2012 Teen runner-up and 2015 Miss runner-up Nicole Blakley and Macy Meehan, sister of 2011 Teen first runner-up Alexandria Meehan.
I did chuckle that one of the Teen sash titles is "Cherokee Owasso", given that outgoing titleholder Cherokee held the Owasso title the five years she competed!
