For the second year in a row Miss Oklahoma has taken the title of Miss America. Lauren Nelson, 20, of Lawton, Oklahoma, is a student at the University of Central Oklahoma and is an aspiring Broadway star who wants to get her master's degree in musical theatre. As well as the crown, Nelson receives a $50,000 scholarship and stands to make thousands in appearance fees.

"I wanted to be Miss America since I was 2 years old, and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be one of those girls onstage and never did I dream I would be Miss America," she said afterward.
