Northwest Oklahoma sat on the edge of their seats June 7 as the top five finalists were announced in the 2025 Miss Oklahoma competition at Rose State College in Midwest City.
Jessica Davis, a sophomore nursing major from Woodward and Miss Northwestern 2025, was named Third Runner-Up to Miss Oklahoma in her rookie year of competition.
“Being my rookie year, I had no idea what to expect,” Davis said. “This has truly been one of the most life-changing experiences I’ve ever had. I met some of the most hardworking, talented, and intelligent women, and I gained so many new friendships through this journey. When I first arrived at the hotel, I had no clue how fast the week would fly by. I feel so lucky to have had this opportunity, and I’m incredibly proud of how far it took me.”
Paige Fischer, Northwestern bursar and executive director for the Miss Northwestern Organization, said anyone who has ever been to Miss Oklahoma or Miss Oklahoma’s Teen, knows that the competition is fierce.
“It takes tremendous dedication and courage to compete at the state competitions for Miss Oklahoma and Miss Oklahoma’s Teen,” Fischer said. “The young women competing truly are the best and the brightest in Oklahoma.”
Davis also received preliminary awards in both Health and Fitness and Evening Gown.
“Winning Health and Fitness was one of the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year, so I was honored to receive that preliminary award,” Davis said. “When I won Evening Gown and made Top 5, I was in shock. I exceeded my own expectations and couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”
In addition, Davis was named Rookie of the Year, won the Rookie Interview Award, and earned the Community Service Initiative (CSI) “On the Rise” Award for her commitment and work toward her CSI titled, “Unplugged: Disconnect to Reconnect,” which encourages people to put down their phones and live with intention.
Davis is the daughter of Cynthia and Brendon Davis of Woodward.
“I cannot say thank you enough. If it weren’t for all the people who stood behind me and supported me, there’s no way I would have made it as far as I did. It truly takes an army, and mine showed up all year long.”
Davis also praised Miss Oklahoma 2025, Tessa Dorrell.
“From the very first moment I met her, she took me under her wing and made sure I always had a friend,” Davis said. “She is so deserving, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we are so excited for her and can’t wait to see all she does with her year.”
