‘Privilege of a lifetime’: Raegan Rutty on being Miss Universe Cayman Islands
By age 19, Raegan Rutty had already appeared on the world’s biggest sporting stage as the first gymnast ever to represent the Cayman Islands at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
But the first time she was actually left “speechless” when she heard her name called as the 2024 Miss Universe Cayman Islands, in front of a packed ballroom at the Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa. It’s a title she had dreamed of since she was a little girl.
Since her crowning moment, Rutty has engaged in various community activities, including visiting schools and public speaking, raising awareness on mental health and ultimately representing Cayman at the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico. She is now a presenter on Daybreak on Compass TV.
