Mrs. Oklahoma 2008 Crowned

Enid Resident Crowned Mrs. Oklahoma America

The show has come to a close and Oklahoma has a new queen! Although all of the women lead accomplished lives, Mrs. Allison Greco, just crowned Mrs. Oklahoma America 2008, stood out from the rest. Allison was crowned Mrs. Oklahoma 2008 at the Scottish Rite Theater in Guthrie, Oklahoma on Saturday night, April 12, 2008.

Allison is a native Oklahoman and currently resides in Enid with her husband, 2d Lt. Anthony Greco, a student pilot for the U.S. Air Force, stationed at Vance AFB.

A graduate and valedictorian of Sapulpa High School in 2002, Allison went on to excel in higher education when she graduated from the University of Oklahoma in May 2007 with a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and an MBA. She was Outstanding Senior in the College of Engineering for her excellence in academics and for her leadership in many university activities including serving as Chair of Relay For Life, Vice President of Chi Omega Sorority and Chair of the Engineering Leadership Roundtable. Allison is currently employed in the Engineering Maintenance Excellence Team at BNSF Railway.

Allison Greco is honored to represent Enid and Oklahoma in the Mrs. America 2008 pageant, which will be nationally televised in August. She feels that this title will open doors of opportunity to raise awareness for cancer advocacy, research and education. Allison lost her mother to colon cancer when she was 3 years old and wants to encourage others to join the fight against cancer.

She will be traveling the great state of Oklahoma making appearances, promoting the Mrs. Oklahoma America pageant and advancing her platform.

The 2008 Mrs. Oklahoma America winner receives more than $10,000 in prizes including an all-expense paid trip to the National Mrs. America Pageant, a diamond and emerald crown ring from www.Ballerina-Jewelers.com, and Alberto Makali Evening Gown and two weeks of wardrobe for use at Mrs. America, Complete Dentistry from Smile Solutions, Gym Membership at Aspen Athletic, and $1000 worth of luggage from The Elephant Trunk in Tulsa.
