Miss Nebraska Teresa Scanlan crowned Miss America




Miss Nebraska, Teresa Scanlan, a 17-year-old from Nebraska became the youngest winner of the Miss America crown in 90 years on Saturday. Miss Scanlan took the title after beating 52 other beauties from all across United States.

Scanlan is from the western Nebraska town of Gering. She finished her high school and plans to study American politics at Patrick Henry College in Virginia. She can do that after 2012 Miss America Contest.

Scanlan won a $50,000 scholarship and a year long run with the crown at the competition Saturday night at the Planet Hollywood casino-resort in Las Vegas. This is Nebraska’s first-ever win at the Miss America beauty pageant.

Teresa Scanlan was the youngest Miss America since the pageant’s first competition in 1921 when Margaret Gorman of the District of Columbia won at age 15.
