The new Miss America is a Cheesehead!

Wausau Native Grace Stanke was awarded the Miss America crown Thursday night.

“It was a shocker,” Stanke told Wis. Morning News on Friday. “I visualized (winning) and pictured myself doing it, but I didn’t expect it.”

Stanke, a little bleary eyed, admitted she had only gotten three hours of sleep.

“Today is Day One,” she declared.

Stanke is a University of Wisconsin student studying Nuclear Engineering — she will receive a $50,000 scholarship for winning the competition.

Congratulations to #MissAmerica2023, Grace Stanke from Wisconsin!

In November, Stanke discussed her future ambitions while joining WTMJ’s Wisconsin’s Afternoon News show.

“I am the first nuclear engineer ever to compete for Miss America,” she told WTMJ. “I’m focused on the energy industry and the power industry. I do work with nuclear power plants.”
