Miss Michigan USA and Miss Michigan Teen USA pageants will be held this Saturday in Port Huron and contestant lists are finally up! 

Out of 67 contestants 12 have placed previously at either Miss Michigan USA or Miss Michigan Teen USA. The biggest competition gap amongst these contestants is Michelle Makarewicz who was a Teen semi-finalist in 2003 and as far as I am aware has not competed since! Two of last years runners-up and two from 2010 (including Jamie Zade who was RU both years) are back, as are three former Teen runners-up (one last year, one in 2010 & two in 08) and of course Kristen Danyal, who is vying to be the first former Teen to take the Michigan title. One of those former Teen runners-up is Cassey Hayes, the sister of Crystal Hayes, Miss Michigan USA 2005. Four of last year’s semi-finalists are back. Hayley Eisenhardt was first runner-up at Miss US International this year. 

The Teen competition is a whole different story… 40 contestants and only one has placed before.
