A US air force fighter pilot training to be a Top Gun has been crowned Miss America.

2nd Lt Madison Marsh was crowned Miss Colorado in May 2023 before competing in the finals Sunday night to win the crown.

Marsh is the first active duty officer from any branch of the military to represent at the national level of the Miss America organization.

This year’s runner-up is Miss Texas, Ellie Breaux who would be called to step in if Marsh is unable to complete a full year of service.

Miss Indiana Cydney Bridges came third, Miss Kentucky Mallory Hudson placed fourth while Miss Rhode Island Caroline Parente came fifth.

Fifty-one contestants participated in the event, representing all 50 US states, as well as the District of Columbia.
