Miss Hawaii USA is a preliminary to the Miss USA pageant. Miss USA then moves on to compete for the crown of Miss Universe.
So far, four previous Miss Hawaii USA winners have won Miss USA, one winning Miss Universe: Macee Wilson (1962), Tanya Wilson (1972), Judy Anderson (1978) and Brook Lee (1997) who went on to win Miss Universe.
In the swimsuit category, first runner-up, Kawena Chun, local girl host of Dis n’ Dat and popular favorite in past years, took the title. Here she is showing off her bikini form, kept trim from her hula performances at Magic of Polynesia show in Waikiki.
