Twins Win Back-to-Back at the Miss Washington Pageant

23-year-old Tracy Turnure was crowned Miss Washington 2010 by her sister Tara Turnure, the reigning queen.

Tracy, blonde, is 5 inches taller than her twin, who is one hour and a half older than her and has dark brown hair. Tracy says that she thinks they made pageant history. They're the only twins who won back-to-back in the Miss Washington pageant.

Had they been identical twins, she thinks they wouldn't have won one year after another because the pageant wouldn't want "the same exact person" to be the next year's winner.

Miss Washington will go to compete in the Miss USA pageant and have the chance to represent the US at the Miss Universe pageant.
