Chipola College alumna Ashleigh Lollie was crowned Miss Florida USA in the pageant held July 12 in the Parker Playhouse in Ft. Lauderdale.
Lollie, of Grand Ridge, was crowned Miss Emerald Coast earlier this year. Seventy women were vying for the crown. She was a freshman member of the Chipola Homecoming Court in 2010.
A law student at Florida State University, Lollie goes on to represent Florida in the Miss USA pageant next year. A win there would earn her a spot at Miss Universe.
