Chandler Lawson
A new Miss Tennessee was crowned over the weekend in Jackson.
Twenty-two-year-old Chandler Lawson of Tullahoma will represent Tennessee in the nationally-televised Miss America pageant in January.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior won the competition Saturday night.
She told WBBJ-TV in Jackson that being Miss Tennessee has been her goal since she was seven years old when she met a former Miss Tennessee beauty queen in her classroom.
Lawson said she plans to meet with more than 40,000 students in the weeks before the Miss America Pageant.
The first runner-up was Kristen Mosley, of Capital City, and the second runner-up was Amy Flynn, of Bristol.
