Miss Teen US Latina
Miss Teen US Latina is an American beauty pageant for Latin American teenage girls living in the United States. It is a sister pageant to the Miss Latin America and Miss Latina US pageants. It was first established nationally in 2003. It is owned and organized by the Miss América Latina Organization.
History
The first teenage pageant associated with the Miss América Latina Organization took place in 1999, when Kristine Taranco was crowned Miss Teen Florida Latina 1999. However, it wasn't until 2003 that a national pageant was established. Then, Edshelee Torres of Florida took the crown. It has been held every year since, alongside the Miss Latin America and Miss Latina US pageants. (It was numbered oddly, as Miss Teen US Latina 2003 was held alongside Miss Latin America 2004.) In 2004, Michelle Gonzalez of Illinois succeeded Edshelee. Illinois took a back to back wins with Geysha Gonzalez taking the prize in 2005. Karla Acosta of Florida followed. Currently, Nicole Korrody of Texas holds the reign.
