Caitlin Brunell (born May 1992 in Seattle, Washington)[1] from Great Falls, Virginia is a contestant who won the Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2008 title in August of 2007.

Brunell is the daughter of Stacey and Mark Brunell, a successful NFL quarterback who currently plays for the New Orleans Saints. Her parents were seniors and successful athletes at the University of Washington at the time she was born, and her father went on to play for the Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Washington Redskins, as well as the Saints.[1] She was home schooled through middle school and spent her freshman year at Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School.[2]

In 2007 Brunell won the Miss Greater Richmond's Outstanding Teen title and then the Miss Virginia's Outstanding Teen title. She represented Virginia in the third Miss America's Outstanding Teen pageant held on August 11, 2007 and won the title. She also won a preliminary evening gown award earlier in the week.

Brunell runs her own non-profit organization called "Caitlin's Closet", which collects donated prom gowns and distributes them to those in need.[3]
