Miss Wisconsin USA & Teen USA 2019 contestant rundown

Hello lovely blog readers!  This weekend we have the Wisconsin & Rhode Island pageants and contestants for both have been posted :)  Miss Wisconsin USA contestants can be seen here and Teen contestants here.  The pageant will be webcast for $15.99 per show (link).

In the Miss competition two of last year's runners-up are competing this year: second runner-up Teaka Griesbach and Natalie Hamilton.  Last year's Teen 1RU Sophia Andries is also competing in Miss this year.  Teaka (second right below) was Miss Wisconsin's Outstanding Teen 2010 and started competing in the USA system in 2013 when she placed first runner-up to Kate Redeker.  Since then she placed 2RU at Miss WI Teen USA 2014 and has been a runner-up in the last three Miss Wisconsin USA pageants.  She is also a close friend of current Miss USA Sarah Summers who has often travelled to Wisconsin to support her - this photo is from 2015.

Natalie (in yellow) was fourth runner-up last year and a semi-finalist from 2015-2017.  She was also a runner-up at Miss WI Teen USA 2014 and a semi-finalist at Miss WI Teen USA 2013.

Contestant surnames have not been posted but I have filled in some blanks based on Instagram posts, GoFundMe pages and the like.  The full list of contestants is posted at the end of this post.

In the Teen competition 2018 second runner-up Sydney Bobinski and fourth runner-up Brooke Zengle are competing again.  Last year's third runner-up Mandi Genord won the Miss Wisconsin's Outstanding Teen title over the summer and recently represented Wisconsin at Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2019.  

2018 semi-finalists Katelyn Pomenick and Erin Carey are competing again this year.

Camille Yamat is the sister of Miss Wisconsin Teen USA 2012 Brianna Yamat.
