5. Lauren Slisher
Lauren Slisher, a member of the honor guard for the United States Air Force Academy, was crowned Miss America in 2018.
Lauren is the first member of the Air Force Academy to win the title of Miss America and joins a list of many other military women who have competed or won the pageant.
If you’ve been following this year’s competition, you would know that Lauren is an accomplished dancer and has studied at Juilliard, as well as Harvard Law School. She’ll be the first female Airman ever to compete for Miss America. There are several reasons why she is so excited to represent the Air Force Academy, but also for her country.
Lauren has also competed in pageants before and has won numerous titles during her time with FFA, including Miss Army Cadet last May.
