Olivia Jordan is the new Miss Oklahoma USA and Cherokee Pearce is Miss Oklahoma Teen USA 2015! Both are from the greater Tulsa area, Olivia is 26 and Cherokee 18. I finally had a chance to watch the webcast archive today and their winning reactions had me totally choked up, I love a great crowning moment! This was an extremely strong year in OK and I think both new titleholders have a fantastic chance of repeating Oklahoma’s 2014 double placements in Miss USA & Miss Teen USA.

Olivia held the Miss United States World 2013 title and made the top 20 at Miss World 2013. She was first runner-up at Miss California USA 2013 and will be one of three (and potentially four!) of the CA 2013 semi-finalists to compete at Miss USA this year; the others are Miss PA USA Elizabeth Cardillo and Miss NV USA Brittany McGowan who were both top 10 that year. Olivia and Brittany were sister titleholders with the Miss Beverly Hills/Malibu local pageant.

Cherokee will be the most experienced contestant in the Teen pageant this year and makes history as one of very few titleholders to make top five all five years of eligibility. She placed fourth runner-up in the 2011 pageant, third runner-up in 2012, and first runner-up in both 2013 and 2014.

First runner-up, for the second consecutive year, was Alexandra Miller who has now been a runner-up four times in OK and Kansas. Second runner-up, again repeating her 2014 placement, was Miss OK Teen USA 2008 Taylor Gorton. Third and fourth runner-up spots went to newcomers Albreuna Gonzaqueand Ryli Smith.

All four Teen runners-up were competing for the first time. Cherokee’s first runner-up was Hellen Smith. Sydney Gorton, sister of Taylor, equalled her sister by placing second runner-up. Third runner-up went to Noel Delano and fourth runner-up was Caitlin Fidler.
