It was a good day for San Diego on Sunday. Mabelynn Capeluj entered the pageant as Miss Greater San Diego USA. Earlier in the day, Miss Greater San Diego Teen USA Cassidy Wolf was crowned Miss California Teen USA.

The pageant was webcast live on the Internet.
Capeluj was chosen from among more than 200 contestants and will represent California at the Miss USA Pageant.

She was worked as a Wilhelmina model, according to her Twitter profile.
