Longview, TX — After securing a top 15 spot in the state pageant, Miss Longview USA looks forward to continued success in pageantry and a life of helping others.

Andrea Fox and her family caravanned to Houston in a quest to bring home a crown, and although she fell short, she still met her goal of earning a spot in the Top 15 among the 111 contestants.

The Spring Hill High School graduate first started her pageant career two years ago as she competed for Miss Northeast Texas 2011.

“She (Amy Haden) invited me to the pageant on Facebook,” Fox said.

Fox was crowned first runner-up in the pageant and competed for Miss Texas USA 2012 as Miss East Texas.

The pageant contestant returned to vie for Miss Northeast Texas 2012 and once again sealed the title of runner-up, which afforded her the opportunity to represent Longview at this Miss Texas USA 2013 pageant this past weekend.
