"  Miss Nevada, Nia Sanchez has been crowned Miss USA 2014. She succeeds Erin Brady, 2013&amp;#039;s Miss USA, following her performance in tonight&amp;#039;s swimwear, evening gown, and Q&amp;amp;A round \u2014 these saw her walk the walk in a matronly bikini, walk the walk in a ruffly red gown, and answer a question about how colleges should better deal with sexual assault on campus, respectively. (As a black belt in taekwondo, Sanchez proposed that colleges provide more self-defense options for women, which, while a valid answer, caused some controversy across social media due to the focus on victims of sexual assault versus the perpetrators.) She&amp;#039;s now the proud owner of a glamorous sash and tiara and will have to spend the next year sending text messages to Donald Trump, among her other duties. So, you know, even the life of Miss USA isn&amp;#039;t quite perfect. But still, it&amp;#039;s close:  Placements in full: Miss USA: Miss Nevada, Nia Sanchez. 1st runner-up: Miss North Dakota, Audra Mari. 2nd runner-up: Miss Georgia, Tiana Griggs. 3rd runner-up:\u00A0Miss Louisiana, Brittany Guidry. 4th runner-up: Miss Florida,\u00A0Brittany Oldehoff. 5th runner-up: Miss Iowa, Carlyn Bradarich.
