Katie Doland is a former beauty queen from Arvada, Colorado who has competed in the Miss Teen USA, Miss USA and Miss America pageants. Doland is one of only six women who have competed in these three pageants, and is known as a Triple Crown winner.
Doland won her first pageant title, Miss Colorado Teen USA 1998 in late 1997. She represented her state in the Miss Teen USA 1998 pageant broadcast live from Shreveport, Louisiana on August 17 1998. She was a semi-finalist in the pageant, which was only Colorado's third placement, and gave Colorado two consecutive placements for the first time ever. The pageant was won by Vanessa Minnillo of South Carolina.
In the summer of 2000 Doland competed in the Miss Colorado pageant as Miss Denver, and placed in the top seven. In November, she won the Miss Colorado USA 2001 title in Aspen, Colorado, becoming the third Miss Colorado Teen USA to win the Miss title. She competed in the Miss USA 2001 pageant held in Gary, Indiana in March 2001, and won the Miss Photogenic award,[1] the second won by a delegate from Colorado.
In 2002, less than a year after giving up her Miss Colorado USA title, Doland again competed in the Miss Colorado pageant and was second runner-up. She competed again in 2003, and won the crown. The five years she took to win all three titles was the shortest interval for any Triple Crown winner. In the Miss America 2004 pageant held in Atlantic City, New Jersey in September 2003 Doland failed to place, but did win a non-finalist scholarship award.
Doland is a graduate of Arvada High School and Regis University,[2] where she completed a degree in elementary education.[3] Katee was an cheerleader for the Denver Broncos,[4] and at the time, was their youngest cheerleader. Katee currently serves as the producer for the Miss Colorado pageant for her mother, Suzi, who is the executive director.
