Miss United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miss United States pageant is a beauty contest held in the United States for young women between the ages of 19-28 and has been held every year since 2001.
Many delegates and winners in these pageants have either competed at or later went on to compete in other state and national pageants, particularly the Miss Teen USA and Miss USA systems. One of the most famous winners is Chelsea Cooley, who won the 2001 title after being Miss North Carolina Teen USA 2000, and later went on to become Miss North Carolina USA and Miss USA 2005.
Unlike many other pageants, the United States pageant has been contested among at-large delegates and delegates who won their state competitions.
