Addison Treesh is Miss Wyoming USA 2019 & Grace Turner is Miss WY Teen USA

9/20/2018

Congratulations to Miss Wyoming USA 2019 Addison Treesh and Miss Wyoming Teen USA 2019 Grace Turner!

Addison was Miss Wyoming's Outstanding Teen 2014 and is the fifth consecutive Wyoming winner who has previously held a TUSA/MAO/MAOT title (and the sixth in seven years). She was third runner-up at Miss WY Teen USA 2017 and first runner-up at Miss WY Teen USA 2018. She follows Lexi Hill from five years ago in winning the Miss title the year after being first runner-up in Teen. When she was Miss WY's Outstanding Teen her Miss Wyoming sister titleholder was Jess Allen, the sister of Miss WY USA 2012 Holly Allen & a Miss WY USA runner-up in her own right.

Grace was a semi-finalist at Miss WY Teen USA 2015, 2016 and 2017 (she & Addison competed together in 2017). There are some great photos on her titleholder profile of her competing each of those three years, I love her transformation! Grace is the first titleholder from Jackson since 2012 and is the third Teen winner in a row who had also competed in 2015 & 2016. She also won the Miss Congeniality award - the first to win both Congeniality & the title in the same year since Payton Sanders in 2015 (although last year's Teen winner Mackenzie Kern also won the 2017 Congeniality award).

First runner-up in Miss was California transplant Caitlin (Katie) Bosner who was competing in Miss WY USA for the first time. She was a non-finalist at Miss CA USA last year and a semi-finalist at Miss CA USA 2014 and Miss CA Teen USA 2012. Second runner-up went to Lexi Hill, who was competing for the eighth time (across Teen & Miss) and has been a runner-up seven years in a row. Third runner-up was last year's 4RU Ashley Hagal and fourth runner-up went to former Miss WY contestant and USA newbie Kennedy Schramm. As there were only 15 contestants in the Miss division this year they were all given the opportunity to compete again as semi-finalists.

In the Teen competition first runner-up and Photogenic winner was Taryn Blackburn, last year's fourth runner-up. Second runner-up was newcomer Brynnlin Barns. 2018 semi-finalist Olivia Moretti placed third runner-up and fourth runner-up went to another newcomer Serenah Plorin. The Teen semi-finalists were all competing for the first time.

Miss Wyoming USA & Teen USA 2019 contestant rundown!

9/13/2018

Comments

Contestants for Miss Wyoming USA & Teen USA have been posted and we now have the contestant rosters for all three state pageants being held this weekend! Miss contestants are posted here and Teen is here. There are 15 Miss contestants and 29 in the Teen competition - I'd describe that as the low end of average for WI over the past few years (see my contestant numbers spreadsheet).

In the Miss division Lexi Revelli is competing for the 8th time (including Teen) - she has made the top five every single year except her first year in Teen and was first runner-up to Callie Bishop last year and Autumn Olson in 2016. She also won the Congeniality awards at Miss WY Teen USA 2012 and Miss WY USA 2017!
The only other returning Miss runner-up is Ashley Hagal who was 4RU last year, and also 4RU at Miss SD USA 2015. 2018 Teen first runner-up and former Wyoming's Outstanding Teen Addison Treesh is competing in her first Miss pageant this year; Addison was also 3RU at Miss WY Teen USA 2017. Miranda Olson was a semi-finalist last year and Caitlin (Katie) Bozner is a past semi-finalist at Miss CA USA 2014 and Miss CA Teen USA 2012 and a non-finalist there in 2018.

Miss Wyoming 2017 Cheyenne Buyert has crossed over from MAO & will be competing in her first MUO pageant. Wyoming is currently on a string of 3 former Teens (2015, 2016, 2018) and one former Miss Wyoming (2017) so it will be interesting to see if that trend continues! Miss Wyoming 2018 second runner-up Kennedy Schramm is competing also.

In Teen there is only one returning runner-up, 2018's fourth runner-up Taryn Blackburn. Past semi-finalists Grace Turner (2016 & 2017) and Olivia Moretti (2018) are also back, as are a number of non-finalists including 2018 Congeniality winner Emily Ransom.

2018 Miss top five | Millikin Dawson (3RU), Lexi Revelli (1RU), Callie Bishop (Miss WY USA), Haylee Sauerwine (2RU), Ashley Hagel (4RU)

2018 Teen Top Five | Victoria Kelbert (3RU), Rae'Lee Klein (2RU), Mackenzie Kern (Miss WY Teen USA), Addison Treesh (1RU), Taryn Blackburn (4RU)

Congratulations to Miss Wyoming USA 2017 Mikaela Shaw & Miss WY Teen USA Autumn Schieferstein!

Mikaela Shaw of Casper is Miss Wyoming USA 2017 and Autumn Schieferstein of Cheyenne is Miss Wyoming Teen USA 2017! Mikaela was Miss Wyoming 2015 and competed at Miss America 2016. This was her first attempt at the USA title, and she will be the fifth to represent Wyoming at both Miss USA and Miss America. Autumn was first runner-up last year and third runner-up in 2015, when she was just 14.

There was a strong top five in Wyoming this year, which I correctly predicted from prelims! First runner-up went to Miss Wyoming Teen USA 2008 Callie Bishop who was competing for the first time in three years. She also placed first runner-up in her first year competing in Miss, in 2012 (she was a semi-finalist in 2013 & 2014). Second runner-up was Whitney Haugen, who also placed 2RU last year. Whitney is 27 and had the opportunity to compete thanks to the age increase this year! Third runner-up was Lexi Revelli, who won both the Spirit and Miss Congeniality awards. The spirit letters read at each pageant are always tear-inducing but this year was particularly heartbreaking - and inspiring. Lexi's brother passed away in 2011, then her father died earlier this year as a result of complications following a fire, followed by her boyfriend's sudden death not long afterwards. I can't imagine :'(. Lexi has now made the top five five years in a row, between Teen and Miss. Fourth runner-up, also for the second consecutive year, was Hope Golgart.

The top ten were former Teen 1RU Kaylynn Keller (who was 1RU to outgoing Miss WY USA Autumn Olson in 2013), five-time semi-finalist Haylee Sauerwine, 2016 runner-up Megan Martinez, past Kansas non-finalist Angela Thomas and newcomer Brianna Keller.

In the Teen pageant, Mackenzie Kern, who also made top five with Autumn in 2015 and 2016, placed first runner-up. Mackenzie also won the Congeniality award. I was happy to correctly predict they would be holding hands at the end! Second runner-up went to Hayley Stromberg, who was a non-finalist in Colorado last year. Third runner-up was Miss Wyoming's Outstanding Teen 2014 Addison Treesh and fourth runner-up was newcomer Mariah Taylor. There were four returning semi-finalists in this year's top 15.

Miss Wyoming USA & Teen USA 2017 contestant rundown

9/15/2016

Comments

Contestants for the 2017 Miss Wyoming USA and Miss Wyoming Teen USA pageants are up now! The Miss competition has 21 contestants, up five on last year but similar to those from 2012-2015. Teen numbers are also close to recent years. Prelims are at 8pm MST on Saturday with finals on Sunday at 4pm MST, both webcast for $14.99 per show.

Miss Wyoming 2015 Mikaela Shaw is competing in the USA system for the first time, and Miss Wyoming's Outstanding Teen 2014 Addison Treesh is competing in Teen. Miss Wyoming Teen USA 2008 Callie Bishop is back after a two year gap - she was first runner-up in 2012 and a semi-finalist in 2013 & 2014. Three of last year's top five are back in Miss: first runner-up Lexi Revelli, who was also 3rd runner-up in 2015, fourth runner-up in 2014, second runner-up in Teen in 2013 and a Teen semi-finalist in 2012; second runner-up Whitney Haugen, twice a non-finalist in Colorado; and fourth runner-up Hope Golgart. 2013 Teen 1st runner-up Kaylynn Keller is back after last making the Miss WY USA top 15 in 2015. Other returning semi-finalists are Tori Cole, Megan Martinez, Alexis May and Haylee Sauerwine.

Amazingly, the last newcomer to win Miss WY USA was Abby Norman in 2005! Of the 11 titleholders since then, two (Caroline Scott & Autumn Olson, the most recent winners) were former Teens and only Robyn Johnson had not previously made the top five.

Row 1: Mikaela Shaw, Callie Bishop, Lexi Revelli, Hope Golgart, Whitney Haugen | Row 2: Martinez, Alexis May, Kaylynn Keller, Tori Cole, Haylee Sauerwine

In addition to Addison Treesh in the Teen division, Autumn Schieferstein and Mackenzie Kern, runners-up in both 2015 and 2016 are back. Autumn was 1RU last year and 3RU in 2015, and Mackenzie was 4RU last year and 2RU in 2015. Past semi-finalists who are competing are Ashlyn Braley, Ariana Hauglid, Jenikah Michael, Kayli Turlington, and Grace Turner.

In the past five years, three of the Teen winners have been newcomers. The last previous runner-up to win the title was current Miss WY USA Autumn Olson who was Miss WY Teen USA 2013, and before her Kasi Johnson in 2003!

Contestants mentioned above & a couple of others that caught my eye. Row 1: Addison Treesh, Autumn Schieferstein, Mackenzie Kern, Ashlyn Braley, Ariana Hauglid | Row 2: Jenikah Michael, Kayli Turlington, Grace Turner, Aspen Checketts, Sabrina Gay

Miss Wyoming USA & Teen USA 2016 results recap

9/20/2015

Comments

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.
