Crowning of Kaliegh Garris as Miss Teen USA 2019

Did you know?

This is Connecticut's second title and first placement since Logan West was crowned Miss Teen USA 2012. They have only placed four times in the history of the Miss Teen USA pageant (1993, 2002, 2012, 2019).
Caitlyn Vogel equalled North Dakota's previous highest placement, which came when Audra Mari was first runner-up in 2011. This is ND's fifth time making the top five.
Nevada made the top five for the third time in four years! This is the third time they have finished second runner-up (1998, 2004, 2019) which has been their highest placement. Both Victoria Franklin & Helen Salas both returned to compete for Nevada at Miss USA - so maybe we should look out for Erica in a few years!
Mississippi made the top five for the third time in the 2010s... their only placements in this decade were all runner-up spots!
Alabama made the top five for the third time - they most recently made the final five in 2016 but before that not since 1988!
Five of the six Vanbros states made the top 15 (although none advanced to the top five) - Arkansas, Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska & Oklahoma. Sadly Abilene Lortz (Missouri), long a favourite of mine, missed out. Greenwood (MS & TN), RPM (AL & SC) & Future Productions (ND & WY) all got two placements each.
Nebraska made the first cut for only the third time in the entire history of the Miss Teen USA pageant! Their previous placements were in 2004 (Meagan Winings) & 2006 (Danielle Zuroski).
Arkansas made the top 15 for the sixth time in 12 years - prior to Vanbros taking over in 2008 they hadn't placed since 1985.
Maryland is now on a three-year placement streak.
South Carolina has placed eight times this decade - making the cut all but twice. Tennessee is one behind them on seven.
Sydni Bennett (2018) & A'Maiya Allen (2019) recorded Illinois' first consecutive placements since 1997-1998.
Wyoming continues to punch above their weight in the Teen pageant - despite only placing twice at Miss USA in the entire history of the pageant - in 1986 and 2010 - they have now made the cut at Miss Teen USA six times in 13 years.
Olivia Herbert won Minnesota their first Teen congeniality award!
California missed the first cut for only the second time since 2008.
