Grace Stanke of Wausau, the current Miss Wisconsin, is making her state proud in the Miss America competition.
Tuesday night she won the $2,500 talent scholarship for her classical violin performance.
She wants everyone to know she's more than a musician.
"I want to leave the legacy of the women who can, you know," she said. "A lot of the time I get put into this box when people hear I'm a nuclear engineer, but I can do so much more. I'm a classical musician. I'm a competitive water skier. I'm a family member, a friend, and an outdoorswoman who loves to go camping in the woods in the middle of the night."
Two Miss Wisconsins have gone on to become Miss America: Laura Koeppeler of Kenosha in 2011 and Terry Meeuwsen of De Pere in 1973.
