Jill Stevens

Jill Stevens (born about 1985) is Miss Utah 2007.She was chosen as Miss Southern Utah University and Miss Davis County. She is a combat medic in the Utah Army National Guard and served as a medic in Afghanistan in 2004 – 2005.

A Latter-day Saint Stevens grew up in Davis County. Her mother is a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Since 2002, Jill Stevens has been serving in the US Military as a Combat Medic in the Utah National Guard, while earning her degree in Nursing at Southern Utah University. In November 2003, Jill was deployed to Afghanistan, returning home in April 2005. She has earned 5 medals for her outstanding service, and was the first female finisher of the inaugural Afghanistan Marathon, making a total of 12 marathons she has completed together with earning the highest Fitness award during Army Basic Training. In representing the Army National Guard, Sergeant Stevens recently addressed Generals from 40 different nations gathered at Hill Air Force Base.

In addition to her US Military service, Jill recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Nursing program at Southern Utah University on a four-year leadership scholarship. Last summer, she placed 3rd in the Cinco De Mayo Sailboat Regatta in Mexico, and this summer, Jill was chosen one of four women for the “Women of Strength” featured in Muscle and Fitness Hers Magazine September/October 2007 issue. Additionally, Jill has been a fitness instructor for Gold’s Gym for several years, as well as a bread baker for Great Harvest. Possibly one of the most unusual adventures for Jill though, has been her unexpected experience in becoming Miss Utah 2007, and looking forward to her national competition in the Miss America Pageant in January 2008. On January 26, 2008, Sgt Stevens was named the "America's Choice" semi-finalist in the Miss America pageant. This is the first time a 16th semi-finalist has been named in the competition, and the only semi-finalist to not be selected by the judges. Jill was eliminated after the swimsuit competition, along with five other semi-finalists. It is notable that she was the only contestant there to wear a one-piece. When her name was announced she dropped to the stage and started doing push-ups.

Stevens has know joined the Mormontimes.com racing team.
