Pageantry
Miss Guatemala 2010
Jessica competed in Miss Guatemala 2010 where she was crowned as Miss Guatemala International 2010 in a pageant held in the country's capital Guatemala City on April 25, 2010. The veteran beauty queen had earlier represented Guatemala in Miss Earth 2007 but didn't place.[1] The charge of representing Guatemala was originally given to Alejandra Barillas, but a foot injury prevented her from participating in the contest.
Miss Universe 2010
Because Barrillas was unable to participate in Miss Universe 2010 she was replaced by Scheel. Scheel placed among the Top 15, breaking a 26-year non-placement streak for Guatemala.[2] Jessica would later finish in the Top 10. During the evening gown competition her name was incorrectly given as "Jessica Torres".
Notes
note 1 Scheel was originally 2nd Runner-Up (or Miss Guatemala International), but competed in Miss Universe after the original titleholder, Alejandra Barrillas, was unable to compete after she injured her left foot in an accident.
