Miss Idaho Teen USA


The Miss Idaho Teen USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Idaho in the Miss Teen USA pageant.
Idaho has only placed twice and as such is one of the least successful states at Miss Teen USA. Their first placement, and the state's only placement for the first twenty-five years of the competition, was in 1989 when Brandi Sherwood won the Miss Teen USA title. Sherwood went on to make history as the first Miss Teen USA to be crowned Miss USA.
Two other Idaho teens went on to win the Miss Idaho USA crown, including Elizabeth Barchas, one of only seven women to compete in Miss Teen USA, Miss USA and Miss America.
Sabrina Ripley of Boise was crowned Miss Idaho Teen USA 2020 on October 27, 2019 at Special Events Center in Boise State University in Boise. She will represent Idaho for the title of Miss Teen USA 2020.
