STAMFORD — A Greenwich woman and a New Canaan teen won the Miss Connecticut USA and Miss Connecticut Teen USA crowns this weekend at the Stamford Marriott Hotel and Day Spa.
Olga Litvinenko, 26, a Greenwich resident and graduate of Syracuse University who runs her own marketing firm, was named Miss Connecticut USA. Lana Coffey, 18, of New Canaan, captured the Miss Connecticut Teen USA crown. Litvinenko was crowned Miss Connecticut Teen USA in 2007 while a junior at Greenwich High School.
Coffey and Litvinenko will compete at the national level of the televised contests and will make appearances throughout Connecticut and will act as ambassadors of the state at several charity events and social functions. The contests are produced by Sanders & Associates by license from the Miss Universe Organization.
“As a resident of Connecticut, I am incredibly honored to represent the pride and glory of our beautiful state as Miss Connecticut USA,” Litvinenko said in a statement. “Through my participation in the pageants, I am overjoyed at the chance to showcase everything that being from our great state means to me, and I pledge to continue to make Connecticut proud.”
The pageants were held Saturday and Sunday at the Stamford Marriott Hotel and Spa, with contestants judged in three equal categories consisting of personal interview; swimsuit for Miss and active wear for Teen; and evening gown.
“The pageant brought together a group of amazingly talented, smart, confident, hard-working, kind and young women from every part of Connecticut,” Coffey said in a statement. “I am bursting with pride at being named Miss Connecticut Teen 2017 and am excited for every step of this amazing journey and year ahead.”
