18
year old Logan West
of Southington, Connecticut is this year's Miss Teen USA! A senior at
Greater Hartford Academy of Arts, West was one of 5 final contestants to

the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort before a room of enthusiastic
pageant-goers - 51 contestants in all vied for the coveted crown.

win, she says she intends to take full advantage of all that the Miss
Teen USA Organization has to offer...
