"I never could have imagined in a million years that I would be Miss America, let alone that I would be Miss Alaska," a beaming Emma Broyles told The Associated Press on Friday in a Zoom call from Connecticut, where she won the competition about 12 hours earlier.
In fact, she was certain they were mistaken. Broyles and Lauren Bradford, Miss Alabama, were the last two competitors, and Broyles said she thought Bradford would make an excellent Miss America.
"And then they said Alaska, and I said, 'No way. Are you sure? Do you want to check that card again?' " she said before the emotion overtook her and she began crying tears of joy.
"I could not believe it," Broyles said. "I am so, so grateful to everybody back at home who's been supporting me for so long, and I'm so glad that I'm able to bring home the title of Miss America to the state of Alaska for the first time in history."
What began as a 1921 Atlantic City beauty pageant has moved away from a sole focus on appearances, with a new emphasis on leadership, talent, and communication skills.
The centennial crown went to Emma Broyles of Alaska, who also received a $100,000 college scholarship. She triumphed against 51 competitors from all 50 states and the District of Columbia in a competition held at a Connecticut casino.
This year, the finale, which has traditionally been televised on primetime television, was exclusively accessible to stream on NBC's Peacock site.
