Miss Tennessee USA 2023 is Regan Ringler
Miss Downtown Nashville, Regan Ringler, was crowned Miss Tennessee USA 2023 on Saturday, March 11 at the Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee.
The 25-year-old model originally from Clinton, Mississippi, bested over 40 other competitors to win the state title. She succeeds last year's winner, Emily Suttle, who placed in the Top 12 at Miss USA 2022.
Rounding out the Top 5 finalists were Emma Conn (Nashville), Christell Foote (Historic Franklin), Madison Knust (Madison County), and Alexis Sanders (Mid-South). They were named first, second, third, and fourth runners-up, respectively.
The rest of the Top 16 were Demi Patoris, Emma Hill, Christian Bevere, Tatum Sheppard, Kinsley Williams, Sabrina Pointe, Livi Self, Allyssa Weyant, Corrin Stellakis, Rosie Westerbeck, and Taylor Gipson.
No stranger to pageantry, the new Miss Tennessee USA previously joined several times at Miss Mississippi Teen USA and Miss Mississippi USA pageants but unfortunately failed to clinch the titles.
Regan holds a degree in business administration from the University of Southern Mississippi and her master's in organizational leadership from Trevecca Nazarene University. She will now prepare to represent Tennessee at Miss USA 2023 pageant in Reno, Nevada later this year.
Miss Tennessee Teen USA 2023 Blye Allen of Marble City was also crowned by her predecessor, Miss Teen USA 2022 fourth runner-up McKinley Farese. She will now proceed to Miss Teen USA 2023.
