Eight local young women from Carbon and Emery counties competed in the Miss Utah’s Teen Pageant over the weekend. They all competed for the title and the cash scholarships that were up for grabs.

The competition was held at the Covey Center for the Arts in Downtown Provo starting on Thursday, Feb. 16 and concluding on Saturday, Feb. 18. There were 39 contestants in total, and they competed in four categories, including private interview, talent, onstage question and evening gown, and lifestyle and fitness in sportswear.
Tatton, Miss Eastern Utah’s Outstanding Teen, received the 8th/9th grade Scholastic Award, while Monson, Miss Castle Valley’s Outstanding Teen, was in the running for the Teens in Action Scholarship. Monson also tied for the non-finalist fitness award. Three of the local contestants, including Tatton, Jewkes and Monson, were Four Point medal recipients.
