Miss ECHS 2011

Photo by Melissa Holt

Fifteen ladies vied for the title of Miss ECHS 2011, but only one could be named.Miss ECHS for 2011 is freshman Abi Johnson. First runner up is Kiley Ward and second runner up is Hillary Usher.

The academic and casual wear winner was Abi John-son. Evening wear winner was Kiley Ward. Raquel Carpenter is Miss Photoge-nic. Miss Spirit of ECHS is Robin Smith. People’s choice and interview winner was Hillary Usher.

Doty said, “I was over-whelmed by the outpouring of love and support for the Moore’s. I spoke with his mom, Melody, and she was very touched by the whole event. I have to admit I was scared to death when I real-ized how fast those go karts really go! Robbie let me drive his #99 kart and it was super fast. I think he may have doubted my SKILLS at first, but when he saw me flying around that track (and not finishing last) he knew that I was a pro (wink). My pit crew was amazing and gave excellent pep talks.”
