Miss America Contestants 
20-year-old Ashley Strohmier has been working towards getting the Miss Missouri crown for three years and she finally got it on that third try. She came in as 1st runner-up in the Miss Missouri Teen USA pageant in 2007. On her first try in 2008, she placed 2nd runner-up in the Miss Missouri pageant and then placed 3rd runner-up in the 2009 pageant. Now that she had achieved her goal as Miss Missouri, she’ll be now working towards obtaining the 2010 Miss USA crown.
“It’s just overwhelming,” Ashley’s mother, Dana Strohmier said. “It’s almost as if the entire population of Jefferson City, Missouri is rallied around Ashley. Ashley is a down-to-earth girl. Regardless of the fame, she is still just Ashley. In public events she doesn’t wear her crown much as she feels like it makes people uncomfortable to approach her. She’s very morally grounded and has a strong heart for children.”
