Each of the women received scholarship prizes. Kaitlin was presented with an $8,500 scholarship, the largest in the pageant’s history.

Next up: The Miss New York’s Outstanding Teen Competition is set to take place at the St. George Theatre on Sunday.
Winner of the teen pageant will represent New York at the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen pageant, scheduled for August in Orlando.
The 71st annual event, held in the St. George Theatre in Staten Island, N.Y., goes down in history as the pageant’s New York City debut.
The pageant had been a fixture in the upstate towns of Olean and Watertown, prior to running in Long Island and Albany. The vintage St. George Theatre has been chosen by pageant operators as the new, permanent venue of the annual event.
