Sweep over Alabama 2024: Abby Stockard sweeps over Hoover, takes crown

Abby Stockard is Alabama’s untouched pass.

Stockard, 21, was toppled Saturday evening at Samford College’s Wright Middle in Birmingham. He competed as a pass-over hoover, beating out 39 other contestants for the 2024 pageant competition. Stockard would go on to represent Alabama on the United States Past.

Stockard takes over the role of Pass Over Alabama from Brianna Burrell, Pass Over Alabama 2023. Burrell crowned his successor at right center on Saturday and Stockard was presented with a bouquet of roses.

“I have no words,” Stockard told AL.com about his win. “I’m so excited. I’m so honored, and I can’t believe I’ll have the opportunity to represent Alabama this year.

Stockard, from Birmingham, is an alumnus of Auburn College, where she studied nursing. Based on her experience at Alabama Bio, she plans to gain valuable experience and study at the College of Anesthesia Attendant for her upcoming graduation. Her goal is to earn an advanced level, become a physician of baby sitter anesthesia follow, and specialize in pediatrics.

Alabama’s year-long reign of virginity begins immediately. She will build a presence in the country, do fundraising work, speak to crowd groups, inspire students and more. Stockard’s crowdfunded initiative is Be the Exchange: Discover a Fix – Cystic Fibrosis Awareness.

Stockard noted, “I’m so excited that I have this platform of influence to really make a difference in the lives and hearts of the people of Alabama.” “This is my third year competing for the title of Miss Alabama, and for a long time now, I have put in a lot of work and effort to get here. I have big plans for this year, and I’m so excited that I’ll get the chance to make them happen.

“My big goal is obviously to increase the visibility of the (Miss Alabama) organization,” Stockard said. “I want to use social media. I want to carry forward the ultimate mission of this organization to empower young women. I want to promote recruitment. I want to increase my service initiative of cystic fibrosis awareness. I want to make service the center of my reign and everything I do. I truly believe that I have a heart of compassion and empathy, and I want to use it to touch the lives and hearts of the people of Alabama.

Stockard was one of 13 semi-finalists selected for the pageant final on Saturday, competing in departments including skills, onstage interview, nighttime gown and health and fitness. For the skill, she performed a modern dance to Lauren Daigle’s “You Say”. (At Auburn, Stockard is a member of the Tiger Posse dance task force.)

Round 3 of preliminary competitions for Pass Over Alabama 2024 were played Wednesday through Friday at Right Middle, giving all 40 contestants the opportunity to show off their skills in the skills, nighttime gown, fitness and health, and on-stage interview departments. During this, the contestants also interacted with the judges during off-stage interviews and showcased their public service activities.

Stockard won two preliminary awards during this time, earning a management rating in the night gown competition on Wednesday and the skills competition on Friday.

The scores obtained in the preliminaries were factored to create an overall ranking that was considered by the judges on Saturday, and were weighted as 30 percent of each competitor’s ranking in the finals. This was added to Saturday’s ratings by skills, night attire and fitness (each accounting for 20 per cent) and on-stage questioning (10 per cent).

Pass Over Alabama, like the Pass Over the United States group, is no longer a suit festival. It was dropped in Pass Over United States in 2018, and adopted in Pass Over Alabama in 2019. On the other hand, a fitness department was added this month, and contestants modeled activewear designed for the Pass Over. United States Group.

Additionally, this month’s Crowd Selection Tournament allowed people to vote online for their favorite contestants for a trip to the Pass Over Alabama finals. Each vote is worth $1. The contestant with the most votes earned a spot among the 13 semi-finalists on Saturday. Voting continued through Friday night, according to the group Pass Over Alabama.

• Dominic Verville, pass over the Cahaba Valley

Despite the fact that the glitzy on-stage job is perhaps the most nationalized aspect of the Pass Over Alabama competition, significant scholarship cash is at stake behind the scenes. According to Pass Over Alabama competition data, cash scholarships in various categories are awarded to contestants throughout the competition, totaling $126,500 this month.

Passing Over Alabama’s name comes with a $15,000 scholarship. The primary runner-up receives $5,000; Second runner-up receives $3,000; Third runner-up will receive $2,500; Fourth place receives $2,000, all in scholarship cash.

The alternate semi-finalists each receive $1,500 in scholarship cash. The remaining contestants receive $1,250 for participating in the competition. More than 40 optional cash scholarships in the amounts of $100-$5,000 are awarded by the competition’s scholarship committee and various donors.

According to competition data, this time’s Early Skills winners will each receive $500 in scholarship cash. The winners in the Night Gown Preliminaries will each receive $300 scholarship money.

Many colleges and universities in the area also offer a variety of scholarships to winners and alternate contestants, paying tuition, fees and optional expenses.

This month’s judge is Amanda Joseph Maite. Amanda Tapley McGriff, Sharon Melton, Jay Pitts and Rick Pruitt.

Tammy Min Haynes, Alabama 1984 cross, was once MC for the Saturday program. The schedule included production numbers from Pass Over Alabama 2023 and this month’s contestants, performing songs such as “How Will I Know,” “Stars Fell on Alabama” and “Stronger.” Alabama teenager 2024 also performed well in the finals, defeating Ali Mims. Tiara Pennington, Pass Over Alabama 2019-2020, sang the national anthem.
