Miss America Contestants
Miss Missouri USA contestant rundown!
Missouri contestants went up today... I always love Missouri because there are tons of contestants who return year after year, it's fun to watch their progress.
MO contestants have a good reason to persevere, the last four titleholders crowned had all placed in the final 2 of either the Miss MO Teen USA or USA pageant (07 - Amber Seyer Miss MO TUSA 03, 08 Candice Crawford 1RU 07, 09 Stacey Smith 1RU 08, 10 Ashley Strohmeier 1RU MO TUSA 07). Incidentally the other two contestants in this photo, Rachael Shinabarger (1RU to Amber, also 1RU to Stacey in 2009) and Lauren (Miss MO TUSA 07) are also competing in the Miss division this year!
Former Teen titleholders
Lauren Petersen (MO TUSA 07)
Breanna Huellinghorst (T15 09, MO TUSA 06, T15 MO TUSA 05)

Abbie Cook (T15 09, T15 MO TUSA 05)
Alycia Yount (T15 09)

I'll do the list of returning Teen contestants separately, but there is one interesting bit of trivia this year, the sisters of both returning Teen titleholders will be competing for the MO Teen USA title themselves this year! Kelly (sister of Lauren) was 3RU in 2008 & Theresa (sister of Breanna) was a SF last year).
All of 2010's runners-up are returning and you can see them in swimsuit & gown competition last year here. From that page you can also see montages for previous years.
2011 contestants are italicised.
