Miss Pennsylvania USA & Teen USA 2017 contestant commentary

Miss Pennsylvania USA & Teen USA 2017 will be crowned on Sunday at 2pm, completing the Pageant Associates class of 2017 (WV/IN/CT/VT/PA).  Unfortunately there is no webcast, but the Pageant Associates facebook page is always great at posting updates!  The 60 contestants in the Miss division is the highest since 2011 and second highest since 2008.  The Teen competition has increased 16 on the low of 11 they had last year but is still a far cry from the average of 50 in recent years - and in 2007 there were 189!

In the Miss division, Miss Pennsylvania Teen USA 2011 Madison Longstreth is competing in Miss for the first time and will be hoping to experience the crowning moment she missed as a Teen - she was originally first runner-up but assumed the title after the winner resigned the next day and then went on to make the top fifteen at Miss Teen USA 2011!  

Three-time runner-up Cassandra Angst is the only contestant returning from last year's top five (Antonia Gore competed in Maryland).  Two of last year's Teen runners-up have moved up to the Miss competition though, 2016 second runner-up/2015 first runner-up Alyssa Andersen and fourth runner-up Robin Stoner.  They are just two of a number of number of other former Teen runners-up competing, including three-time first runner-up (2012-2014) Alex Taylor, 2014 fourth runner-up Brielle Corriente, 2010 second runner-up Julia Pauline.  

​Returning semi-finalists are Chelsea Koryak, Natalie Romano, and Monet Tiberii.

In the Teen competition 2016 third runner-up Brooke Calle​ is competing, as are semi-finalists Miranda Beaver and Kayla Root​.
