The top 16 were announced and competed in Swimsuit and Evening Gown. Then, each girl was interviewed backstage by Colin Hornett. Before the final round, each girl in the top five was asked a personal question then a question the judges written for them. West cited when she was 14 years old and starting a program to combat bullying as her greatest accomplishment. Her crowning marks the first time a contestant from Connecticut won the pageant.[1]
