SOUTH CAROLINA
WATCH: Former South Carolina Gamecock athlete named Miss USA 2019
Miss USA 2019 was crowned on Thursday and it turns out a former Gamecock won the event.
The latest Miss USA competition was held from the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, Nevada. On Thursday evening, in front of a live audience and broadcast around the world, North Carolina native Cheslie Kryst won the crown.
While she is from North Carolina and got her law degree at Wake Forest, yes, she’s a practicing attorney, Kryst got her undergraduate degree from South Carolina. A member of the track team during her time in Columbia, Kryst graduated from USC in 2013.
Kryst will now move on to represent America in the Miss Universe pageant.
You can watch the moment she was crowned below:
Congrats!!
Miss America, Miss Teen USA, Miss USA Let the Black Girl Magic Runneth Over!!
Excuse me-did you just assume her race? #bigot
She is literally black. Also, this occurrence is the 1st time in history, as noted by multiple news sources. Lastly, assuming a person’s race isn’t bigotry. I have placed the definition of bigotry below for educational purposes.
big·ot·ry
/ˈbiɡətrē/
noun
intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.
As an example race.
Now have a good day being ignorant somewhere else.
Its not bigotry its prejudical at best and racist at worst.
Honestly, cisgendered supremacists such as yourself don’t have the ability to critique. Check your privilege.
@cola_cock it’s none of those things because she’s black. You know they make this lovely thing called a dictionary. Utilize it!
SEC even has miss America. IT JUST MEANS MORE
And just three years removed from another Miss America, the former Miss Georgia in 2016. We all know where the most beautiful women in the world live.
Carolina girls the best in the world.
How about…
Congratulations and best wishes! : )

She’s not ugly.
She’s a beautiful young lady. Period.
She has a lot of hair!
No more than Miss UGA 2019. It’s just styled differently.
