A Leesburg woman was crowned Miss Florida Saturday night, earning her a spot in the Miss America pageant in September. Elizabeth Fechtel, a 20-year-old junior at the University of Florida, took the top spot after first being among the five finalists in the Miss Florida Scholarship Pageant held at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg over the past several days.
Fechtel won a preliminary swimsuit competition on Wednesday, and danced to Pharrell Williams' song "Happy" in a preliminary talent competition. Fechtel, who is currently Miss University of Florida, graduated from First Academy-Leesburg and is majoring in political science with a minor in communications and entrepreneurship at UF. Among the other finalists was Miss Winter Park, Chloe Lupo. Arianna Beyer, 19, of Mount Dora, also competed.
