Congrats to Prelim Night One Winners!

Swimsuit: Becky Minger
Miss All*American City

Talent: Nanciann Strosnider
Miss Greater Butler County

The Mansfield News Journal reports that Becky wore a two-piece gold, velvet swimsuit. And:

"She said she worked out three times a week with her dad lifting weights.

“I took the time. I stayed dedicated. I really dedicated that time to keeping myself healthy and getting myself in my best shape, and I plan on staying that way,” she said."

Also from MNJ: "Miss Greater Butler County Nanciann Strosnider won the talent award after singing “Being Alive” from the Tony-award winning musical “Company.”

“We put ‘Happy Days (Are Here Again)’ in the retired files,” an elated Strosnider, 24, said of her trademark song. “This is a song that’s very close to my heart. It’s the last show that I performed with my graduating class at Elon University.

“This being my sixth year at Miss Ohio, it had a lot of sentimental meaning, too.”

These winners were highly predictable, as they both these awards last year. In fact, this is Becky's third state swimsuit win and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's Nanciann's third state talent award as well!
