That memorable picture of Audra Mari and Nia Sanchez - last two women standing during Miss USA 2014

Since Miss USA 2015 will be chosen in Baton Rouge, Louisiana Sunday night (Morning in Manila), I thought of doing a Senti feature on the part-Filipino Miss North Dakota 2014 who gave Nia Sanchez one tough competition during last year’s finals and ended up getting 1st Runner-Up honors.

When Audra Mari competed during Miss USA 2014, she wasn’t really one of the hottest favorites to make it. At the onset, that is. But as weeks progressed, pre-pageant watchers started to take notice of this girl from Fargo who is slowly becoming a solid performer. And the minute she took her stage turns during Preliminaries, everyone is in agreement that she is definitely a major contender.

Watch her Hot Seat interview during the competition now.

Audra with her Filipino grandfather Justo

It was no secret that Audra had that all-important Filipino connection that made her all the more interesting to Fil-Ams and Filipino pageant fans everywhere. She is particularly fond of her grandfather Justo (right photo), a retired surgeon originally from Alaminos, Pangasinan.

To know Audra behind the state crown and all the pageant works, here is a video to watch about her life in Fargo, North Dakota. She spent the day with Siri Joy Freeh (a former Miss Minnesota) where she detailed most of her life over burgers, go-karts and laser tag.

Watch now.

Let’s all wait and see if things will go in the favor of Miss Arizona.

  1. Alabama and utah has the great chances of winning the new crown. They are both showed a great performaces together with rhode islands. But the last 2 standing in my list is Alabama and Utah. I am really rooting for Arizona. But after watching the preliminary again . im sad that the crown wants Miss Utah also Miss Alabama. I can see in the face of Miss alabama the reaction of winning. Shes visibly beautifull, confidence. pang MU sya. But even i dont found those things i found in Miss Alabama. To Miss Utah, My minds telling me that Miss Utah might win. She got the height, the body, the walk, the beauty, the face, so stunning, fierce. Mas pang MU ang dating nya pero less confidence compare kay alabama, facially makita mo talaga confidence kay alabama. I found confidence to maureen too. She gave great performance. She got me. But her make up and hair style made me disappointed. Parang naguluhan ako sa itsura nya that time. D ko na notice ang winning reaction during prelim performaced. Mas gusto ko pa ang hair style nya sa IG photoshoot kesa sa prelim. But evrything will change kung makapsok sya sa top 20 til top 10 hopefully improved they give her the best looks for her, hopefully may isa pa syang gown. Rhode islands d ko masyado pinansin that time but after watching again she has the potential too, sexy, grabe ang curved. Medyo payat pero she exudes confidence, turn off lang sa gown nya at hair style. Pero may chance sya.
    Top in my list
    Utah
    Alabama
    Arizona
    Rhode islands
