Miss Michigan USA & Teen USA 2016 results recap!

A huge congratulations are in order for Susie Leica, the new Miss Michigan USA 2016 and Unjaneé Wells, Miss Michigan Teen USA 2016!  This is the first time in a long time that I have correctly predicted both winners, even if I forgot to vote for the "Road to" contest on USB (mega bummer).  Susie was third runner-up in 2011 and a semi-finalist in 2012 but had not competed since then.  Unjaneé was second runner-up in 2015 and fourth runner-up in 2014 - she is the first returning runner-up to win since Ruby King in 2013, and only the third returning RU to win in a decade!  This is the first year since 2004 that both the Miss and Teen winners in Michigan are returning runners-up!  ​

Susie Leica is crowned Miss MI USA 2016

Unjaneé Wells is crowned Miss MI Teen USA 2016

Bar one, in both devisions every single contestant who made the top five this year had competed previously.  In Miss, first runner-up went to 2014 semi-finalist Krista Ferguson.  Second runner-up was Samantha Skowronek, who last competed as a Teen in 2009 alongside fourth runner-up Sarah Gerberding who has now been a runner-up four times.  Third runner-up was Elizabeth Johnson who dropped back one spot from last year.  Amongst the semi-finalists, Mari Doan got back amongst the top fifteen after two years as a non-finalist in Iowa.  Kaiya Montague also avenged her non-finalist spot from last year, and 2015 Teen runner-up Stephanie Stavrou showed that age was no barrier to making the top fifteen.

The Teen first and second runner-up spots went to 2015 semi-finalists Aria Hutchinson and Emily Finn respectively.  Third runner-up was the only newcomer amongst the top fives, Alexis Fagan-Williams.  Fourth runner-up was 2015 non-finalist Tiffney Cicotte.  All but three of the rest of the top fifteen were newbies.
