Miss America's Outstanding Teen - Complete Results!

Congratulations to all the Teens for a strong showing in Orlando this weekend!  Below are the complete results, per an official press release from the organization.  I am confused about one part of it; the remaining Top 10 received $1,500 each, then there is a line saying "All contestants not in the Top 10 Finalist $1,000 Scholarship each."  Does that mean the remaining Top 15 (including my beloved Ohio and California) don't get anything more than all the non-semifinalists?

***

So how did the preliminary winners do?   4 of 7 made the cut!
Talent winners, Alabama and Rhode Island advanced (while Washington did not).  Two Gown /OSQ winners make the Top 15, Florida and Minnesota (Nebraska and Illinois did not).

Note, Semifinalists Alabama, Utah and Florida were Teens In Action finalists and Louisiana won the Scholastic Award.  

RESULTS: MAO Teen Preliminary Night Three!

Talent: Washington

Gown: Minnesota 

Washington's Nicole Renard (above) captured the final Talent award last night with a dance routine, as the preliminary competition for Miss America's Outstanding Teen concluded in Orlando.  Evening Gown / Onstage Question went to Alexis Houle of Minnesota (below).  Thus, there were no double preliminary winners.

Ohio's Kesley Barrett has done a wonderful job!  Her mom released this photo, via twitter, of Kelsey's competition gown: 

This was taken by Timothy R. Russell at her send-off party. 

BEST OF LUCK TO KELSEY AT SATURDAY'S FINALE!!!

RESULTS: MAO Teen Preliminary Night Two!

Talent: Alabama

Gown: Florida

Alabama's Mi'a Callens sang and played the piano.  I'm always annoyed when official press releases don't include the name of the song selection; I mean, really!?  Give the people the information they want!  I read online it may have been "Hiding Underwater" by Beth Hart.    

Florida's Elizabeth Fetchel captured the Gown award.  Elizabeth received her state crown from her younger sister, Mary Katherine! Last year Mary Katherine earned Non-finalist Talent and Photogenic awards at Miss America's Outstanding Teen for Florida.  In the press release it actually says "Evening Gown/On Stage Question" award, which makes me wonder, is it a combination of those scores?  I'll tweet and ask them... 

RESULTS: MAO Teen Preliminary Night One!

Last night the competition began to find the next Miss America's Outstanding Teen! Preliminary awards are given for Talent and Evening Gown; other areas of competition are Fitnesswear, Onstage Question and Private Interview. To view the contestant order and competition schedule, CLICK HERE.  Last night Ohio's Kelsey Barrett presented her Fitnesswear routine; tonight she will perform in Talent and Thursday she models her evening gown and answers an onstage question.  The finale is Saturday night in Orlando, Florida.  No, it will not be webcast, sadly. 

Night One Winners: 

Talent: Rhode Island

Gown: Illinois & Nebraska 

Rhode Island's Ivy Shen is receiving rave reviews for her classical violin performance. Summer Robbins of Illinois (below left) and Nebraska's Brooke Ludermann tied for the Evening Gown award. 

Also, five finalist were announced for the Teens in Action award, which I believe is similar to the Miss America Quality of Life award.

Miss Ohio's Outstanding Teen's Send-off

Miss America 2011: Four Teens to Miss!

Watch them LIVE on ABC at 9 p.m. EST as all 53 contestants compete to win the honor of being crowned Miss America 2011.

Former MAOTeens have set their sighs on the Miss America crown!

On November 13th Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2006, Maria DeSantis, was crowned Miss Staten Island.

She'll be the hometown favorite at what (I believe) will be her first time at the state Miss level; at the pageant the Miss New York announced that the state pageant is moving to Staten Island.

A week later the well known Meghan Miller became Miss Fort Worth, her third local Miss crown in the Miss Texas program. She, of course, was Miss America's very first Outstanding Teen in 2005 and also competed on America's Got Talent.

In Ohio former Outstanding Teen, Sarah Hider has her second local Miss crown. Veronica Wende has competed once this season and Ashley Miller competed a couple times last year.
Kelsey Ballew and Ali Nance have yet to return.
