Marsh is the first active-duty Air Force officer ever to receive the national title. Marsh, who represented the state of Colorado, competed against 50 other contestants from all 50 US states and the District of Columbia.
She emerged victorious after three nights of preliminary competitions, where she was chosen as one of the 11 semi-finalists. The final event consisted of four rounds of competition: a fitness showcase, a “hot topics” discussion round, a talent performance, and an evening gown presentation.

Marsh’s victory is a testament to her hard work and dedication, both as an Air Force officer and as a beauty pageant contestant.
Her win is a source of inspiration for young women across the country who aspire to break barriers and achieve their dreams. Congratulations to Madison Marsh on her historic win!
