Both Arizona titles have gone to the 2016 second runners-up! Miss Arizona USA 2017 is Tommy Lynn Calhoun and Miss Arizona Teen USA 2017 is Karly Riggs. Tommy has made history as the first winner from Tucson in 20 years. She is the first returning runner-up since 2012, and was also a semi-finalist in California three times - and is the seventh of the Miss California USA 2013 top 20 to win a Miss USA state title! Karly is the third returning Teen runner-up to win in the past four years.

Tommy Lynn Calhoun takes her first walk as Miss Arizona USA and Karly Riggs is Miss Arizona Teen USA! Crowning photos by Steve Yap.
First runner-up was the only newcomer in the top five, Leona Doty. Second runner-up went to Elizabeth Erickson, a 2014 Teen semi-finalist. 2015 non-finalist Candace Kanavel placed third runner-up and fourth runner-up was Miss Colorado Teen USA 2013 Chloe Brown.
Among the Miss semi-finalists were two contestants who had previously been non-finalists three or four times, Brandi Weber (in Illinois) and Shanna Akins (twice in Arizona, twice in Colorado). Stacy Smith and Samantha Micheli were also non-finalists in Arizona last year. The rest of the top fifteen were newcomers.
In the Teen competition, first runner-up Katie Schaaf, third runner-up Kassidy Neely and fourth runner-up Macy Deak were all competing for the first time. I think Macy is the sister of Darby Deak who was also fourth runner-up last year but have not been able to confirm it. Second runner-up went to Ally Trevino, who was fourth runner-up in 2015 and first runner-up last year. 2016 Illinois Teen USA second runner-up Ellie McGee was a semi-finalist.
