Ten years of Miss America's Outstanding Teen competitions.

121 young women have been named semi-finalists.
40 of those young women have been named runners-up.

The first number is the total number of semi-finalists (Top 10/12/15 - whatever was called first).
The second number is the total number of Top 5 finalists.
W=Winner
1=1st Runner-up
2-2nd Runner-up
3=3rd Runner-up
4=4th Runner-up
T=Talent Prelim Win
