Miss North Dakota USA & Teen USA results recap!

Congratulations to Miss North Dakota USA 2016 Halley Maas of Grand Forks and Miss North Dakota Teen USA 2016 Paige Mathison of Fargo!  Both were competing in the USA system for the first time - Halley is the first newcomer to win since 2009, while at the other end of the spectrum, all but one of the last thirteen Teen winners were competing in the USA system for the first time.

Halley beat four very experienced finalists to win the pageant.  First runner-up was Raquel Wellentin who was first runner-up in 2013 and second runner-up in 2014 but did not compete last year.  Three-time semi-finalist (across both Miss & Teen) Jenna Morlock placed second runner-up while third runner-up went to another past semi-finalist Erica Lemna.  Fourth runner-up was Grace Sproule, third runner-up last year.  Among the remaining semi-finalists were the sister of last year's fourth runner-up and Miss North Dakota Teen USA 2009 Codi Miller.

​The entire Teen top five were competing for the first time.  First through fourth runners-up, in order, were Brittney Heim, Kilyn Parisien-Hill, Ashlyn Erickson and Miranda Morgan.
