Cheslie Kryst was crowned the winner of Miss USA 2019. She looked absolutely amazing while hitting the stage at the pageant in a white, one-shouldered gown, with a thigh-high leg slit that showed off her incredible figure. But while Cheslie was obviously gorgeous, there was SO much more to her than just that.

Cheslie received her Master’s and Juris Doctor degree from Wake Forest University, and worked as an associate at the Poyner Spruill firm. She also participated in a lot of charity and community work, and was a Division I track and field athlete while in college at the University of South Carolina.

Sadly, Cheslie passed away on Jan. 30 at the age of 30. Keep clicking through the gallery to see more photos of Cheslie, who beat out 50 other women from all 50 states and the District of Columbia to be crowned Miss USA on May 2, 2019.

“That’s not her job to do that, but she has taken it upon herself to put that responsibility on her and on other people so she can raise awareness, so she can help those who haven’t gotten a fair shot and it’s worked out well,” Cheslie explained. “I mean, Alice Johnson is an example of that. She does not have to do that. She could be a successful business woman and just be fine and nobody would fault her for that, but she’s taken it upon herself to do that, and I respect that.”
