Katelyn Koval at Miss Pennsylvania

Katelyn is an Ohio native who competed at Miss Ohio back when I was still a contestants, I believe she was Miss Open City '06...? This is her third title in Pennsylvania where she studies dance at Point Park; if TFTJ is right, she made the Top 10 in '07.

- Wednesday winners: SS: Andrea Helfrich; Talent: Sarah Timm
- Thursday winners: SS: Shauna Rice; Talent: Kelsey Pitini

Two-time Miss Ohio semifinalist, Christie Youssef, would have been competing tonight in her home state of California, but relinquished the local California title that she won the night she should have been crowning her successor in Ohio.

Also, Sophia Davis will compete in Miss DC on July 12; she looks fantastic in her new contestant photo!
