Miss Teen USA 1984, the 2nd Miss Teen USA pageant, was televised live from Memphis Cook Convention Center, Memphis, Tennessee on 3 April 1984. [1] At the conclusion of the final competition, Cherise Haugen of Illinois was crowned by outgoing titleholder Ruth Zakarian of New York. [2] Zakarian had held the title of Miss Teen USA for just seven months, having been crowned in August 1983. [3]
The pageant was initially set to be hosted in Lakeland, Florida, following the success of Miss Teen USA 1983, as part of a three-year agreement. However, a planned date change to January 1984 conflicted with Super Bowl XVIII, which led the city to swap the event with Miss USA 1984, also organized by the same promoter. [4]
In January the Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce agreed to support the city's bid to host Miss Teen USA 1984 on 3 April. [5] Las Cruces, New Mexico also bid to host the pageant. [6] After Memphis' selection, 1983 winner Ruth Zakarian travelled to the city on 22 February to film promotional material for the pageant. [7]
The short timeframe between the 1983 and 1984 pageants prevented many states from holding new competitions to select representatives. As a result, several states sent their 1983 runners-up to compete in Miss Teen USA 1984. [8]
The preliminary competition took place on March 29, hosted by Michael Young and actress Heather Thomas of The Fall Guy . [9] The televised final competition on April 3 was also hosted by Michael Young, alongside Morgan Brittany of Dallas . [10] Entertainment for the event was provided by the Gatlin Brothers and the Solid Gold Dancers. [11]
The 1984 pageant had a top ten, with five finalists. [2] [1]
