Teresa Scanlan Crowned Miss America 2011
by Hilton Hater at .Teresa Scanlan is more than the latest Miss America pageant winner. She's also a maker of history.
The 17-year old from Gering, Nebraska was named the youngest champion of all-time on Saturday night, earning the crown by performing "White Water Chopsticks" on the piano. She was the only contestant to neither sing nor dance.
A graduate of Scottsbluff High School, Scanlan has earned a $50,000 scholarship and will attend Patrick Henry College in the fall.
During her year-long tenure, Teresa said her main focus will be on eating disorders and how they affect her generation. If she can't fulfill her duties - and, really, you never know with beauty queens - the runner-up (Miss Arkansas, Alyse Eady) will take over.

I wish whoever wrote this article would have taken the time to do sufficient research. While Ms. Scanlan is one of the youngest winners, there have been two winners even younger. The first was Margaret Gormon in the pageant's first year, 1921. She won at the age of 15. The other, also 15, was Bette Cooper in 1937. It is very disappointing to read an article by someone who doesn't do their job correctly.
