Miss Idaho USA & Teen USA 2017 will be crowned on Saturday, with prelims at 12pm and the final shows starting at 3pm. As with last year there are only 14 Miss contestants (down from 27 and 20 in 2014 & 2015) but there has been a huge increase in the number of Teen contestants, from an average of 16 the past three years to 28 this year! That increase is similar to those we've seen in Montana and Oregon, two of Pageant NW's other states.
In the Miss competition, Cassie Lewis is the only returning runner-up from last year. Past semi-finalists who are back are Allie Mulanix and Charlene Muraski. Miss Idaho Teen USA 2015 first runner-up Sierra Norman and Miss Arizona Teen USA 2015 first runner-up Mackenzie Dipman are competing at Miss ID USA for the first time.
Most of the Teens are new which is common when there has been substantial growth in the number of contestants. Third runner-up Gabriella Simpson and fourth runner-up Natalie Campbell are both competing again.
