Best of Luck to Miss Ohio's Outstanding Teen Pageant

Tonight in Mansfield, Ohio's Outstanding Teen, Ashley Miller, will crown a successor! The ladies must compete in Interview (both private and on-state), Evening Gown and Fitness Wear (as opposed to Swimsuit). Talent is optional, but I believe only the teens who perform a talent are eligible to win the title and go on to compete at Miss America's Outstanding Teen pageant in Orlando.
