The Illinois pageants were held as separate events on Sunday afternoon and evening.  Miss Illinois USA 2013 is Stacie Juris and Miss IL Teen USA is Grayson Hodgkiss. 

Stacie is the first ever former Teen to win Miss Illinois USA, although she will be the fifth Illinois Teen to compete at Miss USA.  She is the fifth 2009 Teen to win a state title this year, equalling a record set by the 2004 Teens at Miss USA 2009.  With both her Miss and Teen titles, she won the next year she competed after placing first runner-up. 

As has been the trend this year, the top five was largely filled with the most experienced contestants in the competiion.  2012 second and third runners-up Kyara Garza and Alex Wilson each moved up a spot to 1st and 2nd RUs, while two times semi-finalist Jasmine Guy placed 3RU and newcomer Zena Malak placed 4RU.  Jessica Albasha was the only returning runner-up not to make top five again (she was a semi-finalist) - must say I wasn’t expecting that.  The second former Teen in the competition, Emily Bey, did not place which was also suprising.

In the Teen competition, two of the three contestants who had placed previously made the top five, but the title was won by newcomer Grayson Hodgkiss. Miranda Fenzau placed first runner-up for the second consecutive year. Past runner-up Shenell Randall did not make the top 14.

Miss New Hampshire USA 2013 is Amber Faucher and Miss New Hampshire Teen USA 2013 is Kelsea Campbell.  Amber is the first former Teen to win the Miss New Hampshire Teen USA title since Gretchen Durgin, Miss NH Teen USA 1993, won in 1997.  A history of former Teens competing in NH can be found here.  Amber is the fourth 2009 Teen to win a title this year.  First runner-up was Samantha Poirier, who has now placed top five three years in a row.  Last year’s first runner-up Sarah Papa placed third runner-up.  Sierra Thresher, a runner-up in Vermont in 2008, placed fourth runner-up.  Second runner-up was newbie Shannon Murray.  

In Teen, all the top five were new, except for fourth runner-up Taylor Kudalis, a semi-finalist last year and 4RU in 2011.

I was lucky enough to watch the webcast and in my opinion the Teen results were spot on.  In Miss, I would have put Rebecca Scalera and new contestant Sophia Panourgias in the top five.  I was very surprised that Sarah Papa didn’t take the title, but when she was announced third runner-up I correctly predicted that Amber would win.

Apologies for not getting a contestant rundown up for Delaware this year… had a busy weekend and by the time the list was up I didn’t have time to do a blog post.  The new Miss Delaware USA 2013 is Rachel Baiocco, a 2012 semi-finalist, and Miss Delaware Teen USA 2013 is Melissa King, who won a non-finalist interview award last year.  Rachel was the contestant immediately in front of winner Krista Clausen in last year’s lineup and the two are friends.  Miss Delaware Teen USA 2010 Kelsey Miller placed second runner-up, extending the list of former Teens who have made the top five but not won (see the history of former Teens competing in Delaware here).

The new Miss Virginia USA is Shannon McAnally and Teen USA is Caelynn Miller-Keyes.  Shannon was competing in Virginia for the first time, but had competed in Texas three times previously and Florida once.  She follows 2012 titleholder (who later resigned) Sheena Monnin who also competed in Texas and Florida before she won Pennsylvania.  Last year’s 3RU and 4RU made the top five again, as did Amanda Jones who was a runner-up for the fifth time.  The two former Teens competing, Maggie Lawson and Dominique Lee, made the top 12.

In the Teen division there was a shock with 2011 and 2012 first runner-up Destani Huffman-Jefferson failing to make the first cut.  Last year’s 2RU Riley Copans equalled her previous placement, while Dominick Fink came close to becoming the third of the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen class of 2011 to win a Teen title this weekend, finishing third runner-up.  Winner Caelynn Miller-Keyes and 4RU Madison Macher were both new.
