Olivia Travis deserves a perfect score for her quick recovery.

While competing in the Miss Teen USA 2024 competition on Aug. 1, the 19-year-old—who was recently crowned Miss Teen West Virginia—began twirling as she walked out on stage while wearing her sash.

But Olivia made one quick turn that proved to be a bit too wide near the edge of the stage and ended up falling off in a matter of seconds. However, her recovery was a swift one, with the teen springing right back and showing a double thumbs-up to a cheering audience.

And though Olivia didn’t end up taking home the crown, as Addie Carver of Mississippi ultimately won the pageant, the West Virginia resident did end up finishing out within the top five.

But make no mistake about it, she’ll always be proud of how far she’s come in the pageant world.

“There are no words to adequately describe how grateful I am for this opportunity,” she shared a June Instagram post of her title. “This job has been a dream of mine for so long, and I can’t wait to serve this great state.”

She added, “I am so blessed to have the greatest support system a girl could ask for. The list of ‘thank yous’ is a mile long, and I would not be here today without the outpour of love I have received.”

Right before making her mark in the competition, Olivia also reflected on the importance of representing her home state.

“This ‘Almost Heaven’ West Virginia angel was so excited to make her vision come to life,” she wrote in an Aug. 1 Instagram post featuring her sporting an Angel costume. “Between the rolling hills and vast wild life, West Virginia is truly heavenly. I’ve traveled over 10,000 miles since being crowned, but the Country Roads will always take me home.”
