Miss California Teen USA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Miss California Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of California in the Miss Teen USA pageant. This pageant is directed by former Miss Kansas Teen USA and Miss Teen USA 1995, Keylee Sue Sanders.

Historically, California is the sixth most successful state at Miss Teen USA [1]. They have also had the fifth highest number of placements (semi-finalist and above) [2].

The most successful Miss California Teen USA was Shauna Gambill, who won the Miss Teen USA crown. She later became the only Californian teen to cross over to the Miss California USA crown. At Miss USA 1998, Gambill placed first-runner up to Shawnae Jebbia of Massachusetts, in what is widely considered to be one of the closest and most controversial decisions in recent years. She was later named Miss World USA 1998 and was a semi-finalist at the 1998 Miss World pageant.
