Miss Illinois Teen USA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miss Illinois Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Illinois in the Miss Teen USA pageant.
Illinois is in the top fifteen states in terms of number and value of placements over the twenty-three years of the Miss Teen USA competition [1]. Illinois ties with Florida for the most Miss Photogenic awards won at Miss Teen USA (3) and has won more awards than any other state [2].
Three Illinois teens have competed at Miss USA, although none won the Miss Illinois USA title. The first was Cherise Haugen, Illinois' only Miss Teen USA, who competed as Miss Teen USA at the 1985 pageant (the first few Miss Teen USAs were given this opportunity). Later two more would compete at the Miss USA pageant, representing Vanbros states: Terri Bollinger represented Missouri in 1999 and Anne-Marie Dixon Oklahoma in 1998.
