Whitney Cothran
Miss Columbus

This Franklin native attends the University of Alabama. Whitney would like to make Miss America a more relevant figure to her peers by bringing Miss America to more youth focused shows like “American Idol”. She would also like to implement mandatory hearing and vision screenings for all children. Whitney is working to bring the hearing and vision problems to the attention of parents, administrators, and educators. Her personal experience inspired her to bring this problem to light. Whitney went through ten years of school before her need for hearing aids was realized.

Whitney, I am so proud of you! Congratulations on your Evening wear and swimsuit wins…...You have what it takes and I’m glad the judges are seeing it! We love you and I will be there tonight.      Suzy

My Dear Whitney,
If you are going to let Mrs. Nancy wear the “smoking red dress” then I guess I can borrow the “flaming hot swimsuit”

Hey Whitney,
I bet I wouldn’t have to be your “stand by” date for prom anymore.  Mom told me how good you are doing, I didn’t have any doubt.  You are a person who has been so nice to me since the day my parents adopted me.  You always make me and everyone around you feel special.
Good Luck,
William Barber
