Miss Delaware USA 2015 is Renee Bull and Miss Delaware Teen USA 2015 is Sierra Wright!
Renee placed 2RU in last year’s pageant and also has MAO experience, placing 1RU in 2012 and top 10 in 2013. She is only the third titleholder from Middletown (following Ashlee Greenwell in 2006 & Kate Banaszak in 2009). Renee will be the first African-American to represent Delaware at Miss USA. The first to win Miss Delaware USA was Renee Smith in the early 1980’s. She was forced to resign when it was discovered she wasn’t actually from Delaware!
Sierra is from Wilmington and was a semi-finalist last year, one of only two returning SFs in the competition.
In the Miss division, first runner-up went to newcomer Alexandra Vorontsova, the only newbie in the top five. Second runner-up, improving one spot on her 2014 placement, was Jennifer Lilley. Last year’s 1RU Emily Wareheim placed third runner-up and fourth runner-up went to Miss Delaware 2012 Alyssa Murray, who was a semi-finalist in Miss DE USA last year. Renee was 1RU to Alyssa at Miss Delaware! Both special awards went to the top five: Renee won the Miss Photogenic award and Alyssa won Miss Congeniality.
In Teen, Drew Sanclemente placed first runner-up, second runner-up went to Gabrielle Jones, third runner-up was Paige HalesandRebecca Wood placed fourth runner-up. Drew was a non-finalist back in 2011 when she was 14 and had not competed since!
