Subject: Sarah Jean Swift assumed the Miss Colorado crown when Madison was crowned Miss America. Since she has never competed in Miss America, she is eligible to continue to compete in the program. She attends Southern Methodist University in Texas, and therefore is eligible for competition there. She would also be eligible in Colorado, as she crowned her successor, thereby giving her a gap year as required (formerly under MAO.org) before she could compete again.

Subject Author Date Totally correct-----but does she have a brain, it would be far easier to win Miss Colorado this next year 2025 than to try to get to Miss America by winning big Lone Star competitive Texas. Even if she goes to college in Texas just to use home-state Colorado residency to enter Miss Colorado next year to try for Miss America 2026. (syn-071-013-135-158.biz.spectrum.com/71.13.135.158) 13:35:35 09/09/24 Mon Did it occur to you that she might be using this opportunity to become a stronger competitor? Especially since she already has to take a gap year in Colorado. (NT) -- No name, 17:18:47 09/09/24 Mon (visit.keznews.com/185.202.220.165) The "gap" year isn't a real gap year. It just means she couldn't compete last season because she can't crown herself if she wins. How it works is that the young lady who takes over as Miss State sits out the year she's Miss State. This is to stop girls in the smaller states (who don't make that many appearances) from assuming the title AND competing at state the same year they're "giving up" the title. As far as I know, she should be fully eligible to compete in either TX or CO this year (NT) -- No name, 22:32:09 09/11/24 Wed (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82) In the 1980s, Debbie Riecks tried twice for Miss TX, then returned to CO upon graduating from SMU. On her second try, a TX couple bought her the EG that she wore as Miss CO at Miss A. That EG + her experience as a TX titleholder=priceless IJS (NT) -- No name, 17:35:25 09/09/24 Mon (c-76-31-134-123.hsd1.tx.comcast.net/76.31.134.123)
