Sydney Nivens from Holts Summit, Missouri was crowned the 45th Knoxville Nationals Queen Tuesday night at Dyer-Hudson Hall. Nivens, who was the Second Runner-Up in 2018 tells KNIA/KRLS News it feels surreal to be named queen but she definitely feels blessed. Nivens says to run last year and come close and then come back and win, it means a lot. She says her dad is probably jumping for joy. The rest of the 2019 Knoxville Nationals Queen Court includes Mayson Seeman as First Runner-Up, Abbie Liechty from Mount Pleasant, Iowa as Second Runner up and Ellen Koch was named Miss Congeniality.
