Senior communication major Taryn Foshee reached the top five in the 2007 Miss America Pageant, which aired Monday evening on Country Music Television.
Foshee advanced to the Miss America Pageant after winning the Miss Mississippi title in July.
"After working towards that night for over four years, it was such an awesome privilege to be able to walk out on stage after hearing 'Mississippi,'" said Foshee.
Miss Mississippi chairman Dr. Briggs Hopson said that making it into the top 10 contestants is extremely difficult.
"I was ecstatic when she got in the top 10," said Hopson. "She's happy, and she's pleased. Very few women can say they were third runner-up to Miss America."
Hopson, who attended the Miss America Pageant in Las Vegas, said that Foshee had a large crowd supporting her at the pageant, which testifies to her character.
"She probably had 125 people there supporting her. She is well respected at Mississippi State and in Clinton," Hopson said.
