Nassau, Bahamas - Miss Lucky Restaurant Sasha Joyce became the first Semifinalist of the
2011 Miss Bahamas beauty pageant on Sunday afternoon, and luck had
nothing to do with it. The 5′ 9″ former Carifta athlete slaughtered her
competition during the Nautilus Sportswoman challenge to become the
first contestant to be fast tracked into the semifinals.
This
competition was not about the fairest or the finest, but it was a survival of the fittest as the contestants competed in a fun but
challenging track and field competition. Under the watchful eyes of
executives from the Bahamas Association of Certified Officials, the
ladies competed in five disciplines: 200 meters, shot put, discus, high
jump, and the 100 meter dash. They were awarded points from each event
depending on their placement, and their combined scores determined their
overall placement.

Sasha easily won every single event. Her dominance
was such that other contestants began to concede defeat early in the
competition. Sharie Delva joked, “This may as well have been a beach
day, and you guys could’ve just given Sasha the title and trophy!”
The
contestants knew Sasha meant business when during the start of the high
jump competition, she pulled out a pair of cleats! “You seriously
pulling out cleats for us?” she was asked by Kerel Pinder. A few
contestants conspired to snatch them away from her, which they did successfully. “No problem,” said Sasha, “I’ll jump bare feet!” Realizing
they had no hope either way, they quickly returned the cleats to her.
A
crowd of supporters turned out to cheer on their favorites, waiving pom
poms, banners and posters of the contestants. When it was all said and
done and the points were calculated, the final three were announced:
3rd place went to Miss Hershey’s Chocolate Daronique Young with 61
points; 2nd place went to Miss Universal Wear Tempestt Stubbs with 62
1/2 points; and taking the title with 74 points was Sasha Joyce.
Congrats to Miss Lucky Restaurant on her well deserved victory!
