SALT LAKE CITY — The 91st crowning of Miss Utah took place Saturday night, making contestant number 32, Paris Matthews, Miss Panoramaland, the winner of the official state preliminary pageant to Miss America.
Matthews, who is from Cottonwood Heights, seemed stunned as the confetti fell and she walked across the stage at Capitol Theatre as the state winner. Matthews performed a Jazz Dance for her talent, which was 20% of her overall score. Matthews was awarded Thursday night’s Preliminary Evening Gown Award.
In her first television interview as Miss Utah, Matthews said she looks forward to serving across the state of Utah.
