Uni Student is Miss USA
It took her four attempts to become Miss Virginia, but only six months later Virginia Commonwealth University student Caressa Cameron has been crowned Miss America.
Making the top five in 2010 – along with Miss California, Kristy Cavinder, Miss Tennessee, Stefanie Wittler, Miss Louisiana, Katherine Putnam and Miss Kentucky, Mallory Ervin, Cameron took out the top prize of US$50,000, plus the all-important crown at the annual event in Las Vegas late Saturday local time.
The pageant started out with 53 contestants but Cameron, from Fredericksburg, Virgina beat her opponents after a series of competitions in swimsuit, evening gown, talent and interview categories.
“I lost an uncle to AIDS, and my family also helped care for a foster child with juvenile AIDS,” she said.
“I really think our school systems do a wonderful job educating students about AIDS,” she said.
“But young people have developed an apathetic attitude toward this disease and feel this can’t affect them.”
