Miss Idaho USA & Miss Idaho Teen USA 2016 will be crowned this Saturday in Boise, with finals starting at 3pm MST. I have loved following Claira & Chaise's year as ID titleholders and will be sad to see them go. Numbers are down in both divisions this year - six fewer in Miss and three fewer in Teen.
In the Miss division, the first runners-up from the past two years are back: Miso Jang was 1RU to Claira and Sydney Halper was 1RU to Yvette Bennett in 2014 (as well as 4RU last year). Miso was also a runner-up at Miss Idaho a couple of months ago. Claira's Teen 1RU Ashley Southern, a past Miss Idaho's Outstanding Teen, is competing in Miss for the first time. Audrey Denison Miss NV Teen USA 2010 is back for the first time - she just recently finished an 18 month LDS mission and now attends BYU-Idaho.
This is clearly a transition year in Teen with only one returning runner-up: Amanda Kelly who was 2RU last year. Other than Amanda the only returnees are two non-finalists from 2015.
