Three OSU women competed for the crown at the Hispanic Student Association’s fourth annual Miss Hispanic OSU competition Saturday night.

Erica Escobar, a biochemistry and molecular biology sophomore who was celebrating her 20th birthday, received the title and a $1,000 scholarship.

“I am so happy because I get to be Miss Hispanic OSU this year,” Escobar said. “I can go through with everything I wanted to do while I was getting ready for this.”

Escobar’s platform is to improve the educational experience for Hispanic students. She said she will develop a tutoring program through HSA, specifically targeting those who speak little or no English.

Fellow contestants Lilia Mendoza and Tracy Mast named Escobar Miss Congeniality, who also obtained the Miss Academic Scholar title for having the highest grade point average. This was her second time to compete in the pageant.

“I am so excited that she won. I’ve been around her for two years now, so we’ve had a friendship going on from the beginning,” said Kayla Mast 2003 Miss Hispanic OSU and human development and family science junior.
