- Brandi Sherwood won the 1997 Miss Idaho USA title and competed in the 1997 Miss USA pageant, where she placed first runner-up to the eventual winner, Hawaii's Brook Mahealani Lee. Lee became Miss Universe 1997 a couple of months later, so Brandi assumed the Miss USA title. She is the only Miss Teen USA winner to hold the Miss USA title. She later became a Barker's Beauty model on the daytime game show The Price Is Right.
- Kristie Dawn Hicks (Kentucky) later won the 1995 Miss Kentucky title and competed at Miss America 1996.
- Miss Nevada Teen USA 1989 was initially Heather McLeod, who was disqualified because she had competed at Miss California Teen USA the same year. McLeod was replaced by Stacey Bentley only days before the national pageant was held.[3]
