Miss Bahamas Universe 2009
Winner will be this year's Miss Universe's hometown girl

Nassau, THE BAHAMAS, May 25 – The host country for Miss Universe 2009 has chosen its own representative for that pageant: Kiara Sherman, 25, (photo) was crowned Miss Bahamas Universe 2009 and will now represent the Bahamas when Miss Universe takes place in her country in August.

Ife Bethel Sears, 20, the first runner-up, was crowned Miss Bahamas Earth 2009. Amanda Appleyard, 19, second runner-up, was crowned Miss Bahamas International 2009.

There's a good chance that Kiara Sherman, the new Miss Bahamas Universe, will become her country's first ever Miss Universe semi-finalist.

The pageant took place at the Nassau's Rainforest Theatre.
