Orlando, FL - Murfreesboro native and MTSU senior Carley Vogel came-in with third in last Sunday’s MISS AMERICA PAGEANT at Walt Disney Theatre. That places this Blue Raider as the second runner-up. In this position, she receives a $10,000 scholarship.

Carley is getting her MTSU degree in Music Business with a minor in Musical Theatre. She also serves as Miss Tennessee.

In addition, with her participation in pageants, she has been an advocate for the American Liver Foundation. She connected with this cause with an early competition when Carley was age 12. She also encourages organ donations through the Donate Life Tennessee program.

Miss Alabama Abbie Stockard was named Miss America for 2025, and Annette Addo-Yobo, Miss Texas, was the first runner-up.
