National American Miss girl WINS Miss America's Outstanding Teen

Jeanette Morelan(pictured far left in green, photographed in 2006) will attest that her success in pageantry is because of the experiences and lifelong skills that she gained at National American Miss. 

A two-time former NAM Miss Wisconsin ( both the WI Preteen in 2004 WI Jr. Preteen AND 2006 WI Preteen), Jeanette now has a new title to her name - AMERICA'S OUTSTANDING TEEN!!! 

The America's Outstanding Teen program is the little sister program for Miss America and is open to teenaged girls. Like Miss America, these teen contestants are required to participate in the physical fitness and talent competition, as well  interview and formal wear. And, like the Miss America oganization, contestants must first win their prelim, where they did advance on to state. State winners then head off to the national competition in hopes of taking home the miniature Miss America Crown( which by the way has pink stones!)

First runner up was also a NAM girl! Brenna Weick, from New Jersey was the 2007 New Jersey Jr. Teen Casual Wear. 

And rounding out the top 10, were other NAM girls, too - including:

Ali Rogers from South Carolina was the 2006 Jr. Teen Talent winner &

Courtney Paige Garret from Virginia was the 2005 Miss Virginia Preteen

But, thats not all!! A whole slew of NAM girls competed for this exciting National Title. Just take a look at all the girls who got their start in NAM! 

Who knows whats next - MISS AMERICA??!!!
