Hayley Lewis, a sophomore music business major, was crowned Miss Walking Tall on Sunday, Feb. 3. Miss Walking Tall is one of nearly 40 pageants in Tennessee. Winners of each pageant go on to compete for the Miss Tennessee title in June. The pageant was a first for Lewis, who decided to enter just weeks prior to the event. Lewis also received a scholarship as part of her prize. She has already began making appearances as Miss Walking Tall at various philanthropic and social events and will continue to do so over the course of the next year.
