Señorita Colombia 2010-2011
Catalina Robayo is the only woman in history to compete twice in the national pageant. CARTAGENA DE INDIAS, November 15th - Maria Catalina Robayo Vargas, a 21-year old student of Law from Cali, Valle del Cauca, was crowned Señorita Colombia 2010-2011 during the conclusion of the annual event held at the Cartagena Convention Center.
Catalina, who stands 1.74 m in height, will represent Colombia at the Miss Universe 2011 pageant to be held in late August of next year. She is the only woman in history to compete twice in the national contest; being a runner-up at the Señorita Valle preliminary, she had to suddenly replace the winner and went on to Cartagena for the nationals. A week later, the original winner reclaimed her position and Catalina had to go home.
Due to the extent of the situation, she was appointed Miss Valle 2010, giving her another chance to return to nationals and compete for the title, that she won.
The 1st runner-up or "Virreina" was Miss Magdalena, Lizeth Carolina González. She is 24 years old and will represent the country at the 2011 Miss International pageant in Chengdu, China (photo, right).
The 2nd runner-up or "Primera Princesa" was the big favorite, Natalia Valenzuela from Huila; while the remaining runner-ups were Misses Bolívar and Bogotá. These three ladies will represent Colombia in various international contests in 2011.
