Miss United States Teen 2003 - Kari Ann Peniche
Miss United States Teen 1998 - Carrie StroupThe Miss United States Teen pageant is a beauty contest held in the United States for teenagers between the ages of 15-19 and has been held every year since 1992.
Many delegates and winners in these pageants have either competed at or later went on to compete in other state and national pageants, particularly the Miss Teen USA and Miss USA systems. One of the most famous winners is Chelsea Cooley, who won the 2001 title after being Miss North Carolina Teen USA 2000, and later went on to become Miss North Carolina USA and Miss USA 2005. Another notable winner is Kari Ann Peniche, who was stripped of her title in 2003 after she posed nude for Playboy magazine.
Unlike many other pageants, the United States pageant has been contested among at-large delegates and delegates who won their state competitions.
