Double Prelim Winners

Does winning both your Swimsuit and your Talent Prelim guarantee that you will win Miss America?
I am not including the double prelim winners in Gown and Interview in 2002 & 2003 since those were the only years that those additional prelim winners were announced.  It's not apples-to-apples.

ONLY ABOUT 40% OF THE TIME.

Since 1950 (64 competitions), 

a total of 22 women have been double prelim winners 

in both Talent and Swimsuit.

One (1) made Top 12;

Three (3) made Top 10;
Three (3) placed as 2nd Runners-up;
Six (6) were named 1st Runner-up;
Nine (9) won MISS AMERICA (41%).

In the same time frame (1950-2014),

there have been three years with two double prelim winners:

1963

Rosann Tueller (District of Columbia)-1st Runner-up

Judith Short (Alabama)-Top 10
(DONNA AXUM-Arkansas-won Swimsuit)

1976

Carmen McCollum (Texas)-2nd Runner-up

1996
