A United States Air Force fighter pilot training to be a Top Gun has been crowned Miss America. Madison Marsh, 22, who comes from Fort Smith, Arkansas, won the top award at a ceremony in Orlando, Florida on Sunday night, Daily Mail reports.
Second Lt Marsh was crowned Miss Colorado in May 2023 before competing in the finals to scoop the top award. 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.
Marsh is a National Truman Scholar, two-time National Astronaut scholar, eight-time Dean's List at the Air Force – three-times Superintendent's List, a National Rhodes finalist, certified private pilot, and a black belt in taekwondo.
