Teresa Scanlan, Miss Nebraska, Crowned Miss America 2011
Filed under: Recaps
The Miss America pageant has been around for 90 years, but a Miss Nebraska had never won the title — until last night when Teresa Scanlan was announced Miss America 2011.
At 17, Scanlan is also the youngest Miss America since Margaret Gorman, the pageant’s first winner, won at the age of 16 way back in 1921.
Scanlan showed her confidence early on in the program. She predicted that she’d win the top prize in a short pre-taped video that was shown after she was announced as the second semi-finalist.
“I’m going to be the next Miss America because I know I can make a difference and change lives and the next Miss America needs to be able to inspire and restore hope,” Scanlan said.
