A pair of 2016 Teen runners-up are the new Wisconsin titleholders for 2017! Congratulations to Skylar Witte Miss Wisconsin USA 2017 and Abigail Bryson Miss Wisconsin Teen USA! Abby is the youngest sister of Miss WI Teen USA 2009 Elizabeth Bryson.
Skylar was first runner-up to Karly Knaus last year and Abby was third runner-up. According to my records Skylar is the first Teen runner-up to win Miss the following year since at least the 1990s. Abby is the third returning runner-up to win the Teen title in the past four years. And Wisconsin hasn't had a pair of blondes win since 2009!

Six of the eight runners-up had made the top five previously. First runner-up in the MIss division was Regina Gray, one of the two that hadn't broken through yet, making the top five for the first time after three years as a semi-finalist! Second runner-up was Teaka Griesbach, improving one spot on her 2016 placement. Teaka was first runner-up in Teen in 2013 and was Miss Wisconsin's Outstanding Teen 2010. Third runner-up Heidi Golznig made the top five for the fifth time between Teen & MIss. She is also a former Teen 1RU. Fourth runner-up went to Raeanna Johnson, who took over from Miss America Laura Kaeppeler as Miss Wisconsin 2011 and then went on to win the Miss Wisconsin 2014 title and compete at Miss America 2015
A fourth Teen first runner-up McKenna Collins was a semi-finalist, as were two other Teen runners-up Natalie Hamilton (who I thought was going to make the top five easily! probably the biggest shocker for me) and Marissa Nelson.
In Teen, all four 2016 runners-up returned to the top five. First runner-up Brittany Georgia was fourth runner-up last year & 2nd runner-up in 2015. Second runner-up Sloan Schmitz repeated her placement from last year. Third runner-up went to Grace Mackey-Natz, a 2016 semi-finalist and fourth runner-up in 2015. Newcomer Alexis Bennett was fourth runner-up.
