Teens from across the state of Missouri converged in Mexico, Mo. Monday to kick off rehearsals, preliminary competition, and crowning a new Miss Missouri’s Teen at a special arrival brunch. During the event, each delegate introduced her title, community service initiative, enjoyed spending time with fellow delegates, and listened to messages from Miss Missouri’s Teen Mallory Sublette and Miss Missouri Executive Director Alice Leonatti.
During the brunch, Miss Missouri’s Teen Mallory Sublette named the finalists for the Legacy award, a new award given this year in her honor. According to Sublette, the finalists for the award had an all-encompassing legacy that they would leave behind on Miss Missouri’s teen. A panel of judges looked through the applicants’ academic transcripts, social media, and Miss Missouri’s Teen information.
The finalists are: Miss Mid-Missouri’s Outstanding Teen Josephine Kespohl of Columbia. She is the daughter of Chris and Jessica Kespohl and is a student at Hickman High School; Miss Clark County’s Teen Maggie Weaver of Revere. She is the daughter of John and Cari Weaver and attends Clark County R1 Schools; and Miss Gateway’s Teen Greta Clark of Eureka. She is the daughter of Patrick and Dana Clark and attends Eureka High School.
Pageant week continues Tuesday with rehearsals and preparations for the first night of preliminary competition at Missouri Military Academy Wednesday. The organization will crown the new Miss Missouri’s Teen on Friday night. After being crowned, the new Miss Missouri’ s Teen will immediately begin preparations to compete on the national stage early in 2024.
The Miss Missouri Scholarship Organization is one of the largest providers of scholarships to young women in the state. This year, the organization will award $85,000 in scholarships between the Miss and Teen programs.
