Savannah Gankiewicz Is Crowned Miss USA, Says She Didn't Accept Job 'Lightly' After Noelia Voigt's Resignation

The 28-year-old took the 1st runner up position during the 2023 Miss USA competition in September.

Gankiewicz humbly accepted the crown and sash from Green before taking to the stand to share words with those in attendance -- including her friends, family members and community -- who she says she is striving to make proud in this new role. Just two days after Voigt resigned, Miss Teen USA, UmaSofia Srivastava, similarly shared that she would be relinquishing her crown, stating, "my personal values no longer fully align with the direction of the organization." The ceremony and pageantry follow a Tuesday appearance by the mothers of Voigt and Srivastava on Good Morning America where they discussed the alleged mistreatment of their daughters, which they claim led to their girls stepping down.
