Miss Wyoming USA & Teen USA 2016 results recap

Yet another Miss Teen USA 2013 delegate is heading to Miss USA!  Autumn Olson is the new Miss Wyoming USA, the third of four 2013 Teens who have competed so far this year to win their state title.   Miss Wyoming Teen USA 2016 is Shelly McRoberts, a first-time contestant who is a freshman at BYU in Provo.  Autumn is 21 and from Saratoga; Shelly is 18 and the first Wyoming titleholder from Kemmerer, a small town in the southwest of the state.

First runner-up in the Miss division was Lexi Revelli, now a four-time runner-up, who was second runner-up to Autumn at Miss WY Teen USA 2013.  Second runner-up was Whitney Haugen, a non-finalist in Colorado last year.  Unfortunately Whitney has aged out, as I think she would make a really strong rep for Wyoming at Miss USA - I don't remember her from last year but she quickly became a favourite tonight.  Third and fourth runners-up were both newcomers: Julia Rose (who has MAO experience but has never competed in the USA system) and Hope Golgart.  Two of the contestants on the original roster did not compete, leaving only 14 in the competition... so they were all announced as semi-finalists.

In Teen, all four runners-up from last year made the top five again, and all finished in different spots to last year!  Autumn Schieferstein jumped from third runner-up to first runner-up, Jacey Phipps improved from fourth runner-up to second, Holly Harrington swapped places with Autumn, going from first runner-up to third and Mackenzie Kern, 2RU last year, placed fourth runner-up.
