"I'm so proud of myself right now," McKey declared, after embracing host Tyra Banks and lifting her off the ground.
A girl who grew up as a tomboy, McKey, 19, of Lake Forest, Ill. ended up as top model after an ability to bend her body literally backwards for great pictures. As the winner of Top Model Cycle 11, McKey wins a contract with Elite model management, a spread and cover for Seventeen magazine, and a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl.
