Mitzi Swanson was first runnerup and Emily Russell was second runnerup. Toni and Mitzi won their talent prelims and Emily was a double preliminary winner. It's on youtube under Pageants Heyday.

(NT) -- No name, 20:56:40 04/23/26 Thu (syn-070-121-036-085.res.spectrum.com/70.121.36.85) Sherri Elkins was first runnerup and Susan Akin was second runnerup. (NT) -- No name, 08:14:54 04/24/26 Fri (NoHost/212.15.83.114) Shortly thereafter, a Miss Universe semifinalist wore Toni's gown. She was from the Caribbean. (NT) No name (syn-174-098-180-138.res.spectrum.com/174.98.180.138) 08:48:48 04/24/26 Fri Miss Jamaica Universe 1989. Sandra Foster. (NT) -- No name, 16:53:13 04/26/26 Sun (syn-075-082-032-207.res.spectrum.com/75.82.32.207) Who were Kathy Mannings runner ups?

Sonja won Miss Nevada the next year and won a non-finalist talent award at Miss America 1985, the year Susan Akin won Miss America 1986. (NT) -- No name, 08:00:08 04/25/26 Sat (NoHost/212.15.83.112) Interesting tidbit, Kimberley McGuffie was second runnerup and April Fleming was in the top ten, who went on to win Miss Virginia 1988. (NT) -- No name, 08:44:08 04/25/26 Sat (NoHost/212.15.83.115) I never knew that April Fleming had competed elsewhere. When she competed her one and only time in Virginia, I assumed she was a newbie. (NT) -- No name, 13:59:52 04/25/26 Sat (216-24-92-182.unassigned.ntelos.net/216.24.92.182) They used to do wardrobe shows for state contestants before they leave for Miss America. (NT) . (NoHost/172.59.115.173) 11:43:25 04/25/26 Sat So many seemed to have competed in MS before winning other states. Dana Dalton is another that comes to mind before she won Miss FL. I know Tara Dawn lived in MS for a bit. Anyone know if she competed there too? (NT) No name (NoHost/172.56.65.43) 14:06:43 04/25/26 Sat No, she did not. Dana Dalton, Nicole Bethman (future Miss Arkansas) and Tracy Yarbrough (future Miss Idaho) were all in the 1989 pageant along with Missy Hurdle, Lenena Holder and Becky Blouin who all eventually won Miss Mississippi. (NT) -- No name, 09:16:24 04/26/26 Sun (NoHost/212.15.83.108) Sherri Elkins was first runner up to both Mississippi and Texas. Wow - she could have won probably any other state (NT) No name (syn-070-121-036-085.res.spectrum.com/70.121.36.85) 14:33:04 04/25/26 Sat 80s in Mississippi were the best. Some very competitive years (NT) No name (syn-070-121-036-085.res.spectrum.com/70.121.36.85) 16:36:46 04/26/26 Sun Agree! And Texas as well. In the 80s, those 2 programs were more competitive than the national pageant. (NT) -- Miss those days, 21:28:05 04/26/26 Sun (syn-075-082-032-207.res.spectrum.com/75.82.32.207) Yea, but Mississippi actually won Miss America twice. Texas had some strong placements, but some ghastly wardrobe choices. There's a reason they haven't won Miss America in over 50 years. (NT) -- No name, 23:09:11 04/26/26 Sun (NoHost/159.100.209.52) I love the trip down memory lane. Who were the runner up to Diane Evan’s and Karen Hopson? (NT) No name (syn-070-121-036-085.res.spectrum.com/70.121.36.85) 19:19:19 04/26/26 Sun I often wondered if Diane Evans won on her first try or if she competed multiple times. (NT) -- No name, 23:09:47 04/26/26 Sun (NoHost/159.100.209.52) Diane won on her 2nd try. (NT) -- No name, 23:17:19 04/26/26 Sun (104-8-42-23.lightspeed.mmphtn.sbcglobal.net/104.8.42.23) How did she place her first try? (NT) -- No name, 14:44:10 04/27/26 Mon (syn-070-121-036-085.res.spectrum.com/70.121.36.85) Diane was either 1st or 2nd RU her first year (NT) -- No name, 13:34:08 04/28/26 Tue (104-8-42-23.lightspeed.mmphtn.sbcglobal.net/104.8.42.23) Loved Diane Evans. Not the sterotypical Mississippi blonde that Mississippi loves. And her purple flowered swimsuit was the bomb! (NT) -- Diane Evans, 16:49:35 04/27/26 Mon (c-76-106-49-125.hsd1.md.comcast.net/76.106.49.125)
