Marissa Teijo, born on July 8, 1952, is poised to make history as the oldest contestant in the Miss Texas USA pageant at age 71. Competing against nearly 100 participants this weekend, the Texas native has already garnered significant attention with 114 votes listed under her name on the Miss USA site.

Teijo expressed her excitement on Instagram on May 24, stating, “I am delighted to be a part of this incredible new experience as a contestant in the Miss Texas USA pageant. In doing so, I hope to inspire women to strive to be their best physical and mental self and believe there is beauty at any age.”

Hailing from El Paso, Texas, Teijo grew up on a farm before relocating to El Paso in the 2000s. Her passion for fitness emerged at the age of 40 when she discovered weightlifting, a pursuit she has fervently followed ever since. She has competed in various fitness competitions, including a National Physique Committee event in Corpus Christi.

At 71, Teijo continues to defy expectations and inspire others to chase their dreams with dedication and perseverance. She is actively involved with @balancedpeach.co, a community aimed at empowering women to grow both personally and physically. On Instagram, she frequently shares her fitness journey, encouraging her followers to adopt healthy lifestyles.
