Miss Oklahoma, Alicia Clifton, was named Tuesday night's preliminary Talent winner for her Tap performance "Money Can't Buy Me Love" during the first night of the 2013 Miss America Competition at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

Alicia will receive a $2,000 Amway US scholarship.

Clifton currently holds two dance related Guinness World Records. Clifton follows in the footsteps of Miss Oklahoma 2011, Betty Thompson, in winning a preliminary night Talent award last year. Thompson went on to be named first runner up to Miss America 2012.

The 2013 Miss America Finals will be Saturday night at 8 p.m. on Tulsa's Channel 8.
