The evening after the Miss California’s Outstanding Teen title went to a Latina – Canyon Hills’ Maya Álvarez-Coyne – Miss Los Ángeles County Jazmín Ávalos became the third Latina to win the Miss California crown in the pageant that dates back to 1924.
In her fourth effort to win the crown (she competed twice in the teen pageant), the 24-year-old Ávalos accepted the sash and crown from Miss California 2019-20 Eileen Kim on June 25 and got herself a ticket to the Miss America Pageant scheduled in December in Connecticut.
Miss Calaveras County Katherine Sharp finished fifth and also won the preliminary Red Carpet (which combines evening wear with state presence) and won a $2,500 scholarship in the 94-year-old competition.
