CARA MUND

Miss North Dakota Cara Mund won the title of Miss America

2018 Sunday — the first from her state to take the crown. Mund,

23, beat the competitio­n’s 50 other contestant­s to claim the title, succeeding outgoing Miss America Savvy Shields. It’s a big win for North Dakota, one of the lesser-represente­d states in the pageant, as Mund referenced onstage. During a preliminar­y round of questions, a first for the competitio­n, she was asked about the No. 1 item on her bucket list: “Honestly, it was to get to Miss America and make it past the top 10.”
