Miss Wisconsin has won the title of Miss America 2023.
Wausau native Grace Stanke, a 20-year-old nuclear engineering student at UW-Madison, became the third woman from Wisconsin to be crowned as Miss America on Thursday night. The others are Laura Koeppeler of Kenosha, who was Miss America in 2012, and Terry Meeuwsen of De Pere, who was Miss America in 1973.
Stanke shared her passion for nuclear engineering and performed “Storm,” a selection from the Summer movement of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons,” on violin during Thursday's competition.
A graduate of Wausau West High School, Stanke is the daughter of Darrin and Jenny Stanke.
She previously served as Miss Madison for two years at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and went on to place in the top 10 at Miss Wisconsin before returning to the stage and becoming Miss Wisconsin this year.
The 2023 Miss America competition was held over four days in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Miss New York Taryn Delanie Smith was crowned first runner-up to Stanke.

I think France would love to have her for their ongoing nuclear program - very glamorous. There is always China ... where cheap energy is abundant and appreciated - CCP press releases not withstanding.
She’s really pretty & a genuine girl! I have wonderful memories of being a little girl & my mom & I would curl up in the couch and watch Miss America & munch popcorn.
She’s white. Must have been chicanery going on.
sorry; as of 2024, new rules go into effect: Guys only, and the fatter the better.
Well then there’s a a major conflict. Predicting descent into drugs, alcohol, and dissipation.
White girl? She looks to be as ugly as Julia Roberts, but she IS white. Maybe it’s just a bad picture.

Must these girls always be super-achhievers?
Does she have testicles like the Governor?
I went to Marquette, where’s my crown?
Does it matter that I’m 4632 years old?
Congratulations! On Wisconsin!
What and menstruating? This can’t be. //sarc off//
Ha. My brother is desperately trying to hire Nuclear Engineers and they can pretty much name their price. The average pay is well above almost all other Engineering disciplines.
PS If you actually know any Nukes let me know so I can help my brother out.
My boss just went back to Bechtel to work on a new plant in Poland.
It isn’t Regulations it economics. GA power is still plugging along on Vogel 3 and 4.
