Miss New Jersey Teen USA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Miss New Jersey Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of New Jersey in the Miss Teen USA pageant.

New Jersey has had only marginal success at Miss Teen USA, with only five placements. Until 2003, there had only been semi-finals placements until Jacklyn Pezzotta placed 4th runner-up that year; in 2004 Rachel Carollo placed as a finalist and in 2006 Julianna White also placed as a finalist. These three placements are best placements ever achieved by New Jersey teens at Miss Teen USA. Pezzotta also won the Miss Photogenic award.

Only one New Jersey teen has won the Miss New Jersey USA title and competed at Miss USA.
