Lawrence County's Distinguished Young Woman, Aaliyah Smith, won Pennsylvania’s Distinguished Young Women’s Program. The program provides young women with scholarship funds to further their education. The girls are judged on interview skills, scholarship, talent, fitness and self-expression. Pittsburgh's Action News 4 reporter Chandi Chapman was the emcee of the event.
