Miss Virginia Teen USA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miss Virginia Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Virginia in the Miss Teen USA pageant.
Virginia is one of the more successful states at Miss Teen USA, and is placed in the top twenty in terms of number and value of placements [1]. Their most successful decade was the 1980s.
No Miss Virginia Teen USA has won the Miss Teen USA crown, but their highest placement came in the first year of competition, when Tina Marocco placed 1st runner-up to Ruth Zakarian of New York. Their most recent placement was in 2006, when Samantha casey finished 3rd runner-up, tieing with Angela Thigpin (1986) for Virginia's second-highest placement. This follows 2005, when Tori Hall reached the finals, ending a six-year dry spell.
Virginia ties the record for the most Teens to cross over to win the Miss Virginia USA title and compete at Miss USA. One of these is Kristi Lauren Glakas, a Triple Crown winner who competed at Miss USA 2004 and placed 3rd runner-up at Miss America 2005. The most recent Miss Virginia USA, Amber Copley, is also a former Teen.
