Miss Missouri of 1955 Bathing Beauty Made History
Sharon Knickmeyer, 23, crowned Miss Missouri in 1955, a St Louis University marketing major and former Fontbonne student, holds 27 swimming medals and six synchronized swimming awards. Her trophy shelf testifies to a sports loving family, headed by dad Willard, with a gap where a trophy never existed. She credits family support for balancing college, lifeguarding, and AAU meets. She may compete again in St Louis, time and routine permitting, as she pursues public relations work after graduation.
