Miss florida usa 2015 finale


The Miss Florida USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state Florida in the Miss USA pageant.

Contents

While Florida has been successful in terms of runners-up, finalists and semi-finalists, the state has never won the Miss USA pageant, although Cheryl Patton became Miss USA after Sylvia Hitchcock won Miss Universe.

Florida's best results were during the mid-1960s to mid-1970s. Their most recent finalist was Brittany Oldehoff who placed 4th runner-up in 2014.

Two former Miss Florida Teen USA titleholders have won this competition, and three titleholders have also competed at Miss America.
