Alaska (AP) –
In the competition's 100-year history, the newly elected Miss America has made history by becoming the first Korean American and the first Alaskan to hold the title.
A post shared by Emma Broyles (@emmabroyles_) on Instagram"I never could have imagined in a million years that I would be Miss America, never alone Miss Alaska," Emma Broyles said in a Zoom conversation with The Associated Press on Friday from Connecticut, where she had won the competition just 12 hours before.

In fact, she was certain they were mistaken. Broyles and Lauren Bradford, Miss Alabama, were the last two competitors, and Broyles said she thought Bradford would make an excellent Miss America.
“And then they said Alaska, and I said, ’No way. Are you sure? Do you want to check that card again?” she said before the emotion overtook her and she began crying tears of joy.
