After a week filled with interviews, performances, and social events, this year’s title of Miss Mississippi has been awarded to Hattiesburg native Vivian O’Neal.
O’Neal, formerly Miss Pine Belt, received the crown and title following a high-ranking score from the judges during the preliminary rounds of the competition.
On Friday night, O’Neal was named the winner of the Quality of Life portion of the competition for demonstrating leadership while serving her community.
Last year, O’Neal was named second alternative after receiving the title of Miss Hattiesburg.
Now, O’Neal will represent the Magnolia State in next year’s Miss America competition in hopes that she will bring the winning title home for the fifth time in Mississippi history.
