Kristin Beall Ludecke is one of only two women to win both state titles, Miss Florida America and Miss Florida USA®.

A pageant veteran, Kristin captured the title of Miss Florida America in 1995 only days after her 19th birthday and four years later made it a rare double by winning the Miss Florida USA ® crown.

Her pageant history goes back farther than 1995. Kristin's mother, Cheryl Johnson-Ludecke, was Miss Florida USA® 1970, making them the first mother-daughter team to win the Miss Florida USA® title.
