SU Alumna wins Miss Maryland

Former Southern University student won the crown of Miss Maryland and is scheduled to compete in the Miss USA pageant.
Mistie Adams, chemistry, pre- med graduate in 1999, won the title of Miss Maryland in a competition that included a personality interview, swimsuit competition, evening attire and final speech competition.
While attending SU, Adams was a member of the Beta Psi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a member of the Honors College and Timbuktu Academy.
In order to qualify for the Miss Maryland competition, Adams had to go through a series of auditions that included a photo interview. She will next compete in the Miss USA Pageant, which will be televised on CBS in Gary, Indiana.
“It’s really didn’t think about winning,” said Adams. “I just tried to do the best I could.”
Adams placed second runner-up in last year’s pageant. Currently she is pursuing a career in entertainment, acting and dancing.
Presently she dances for the Joy of Motion Dance Studios, where she specializes in modern jazz and hip-hop dance for the past two years.
