Miss Missouri USA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miss Missouri USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state Missouri in the Miss USA pageant. In 1993, Missouri joined the Vanbros group of state pageants for the Miss USA and Teen USA system.
Missouri has had only one Miss USA, Shandi Finnessey, who placed as 1st Runner-up to Jennifer Hawkins of Australia in the Miss Universe 2004 pageant.
Three Miss Missouri USAs have competed at Miss America, including Finnessey who is one of only two Miss USA winners since 1980 to win the Miss USA title. Six former Miss Teen USA delegates have also won the title, equalling Indiana and Virginia for the most crossovers, although both Indiana and Missouri have had titleholders who competed in a different state at Miss Teen USA.
