Miss Iowa USA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miss Iowa USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Iowa in the Miss USA pageant.
While Iowa has not been greatly successful in the past four decades, they were one of the most consistent states in the first decade of the pageant's existence. The second Miss USA to win the Miss Universe Crown was Carol Morris of Iowa in 1956.
Jamie Solinger, Miss Teen USA 1992 and Miss Iowa USA 1998 crowned her sister Jacklyn as Miss Iowa USA 1999.
