NEW MISS USA NAMED
Kristen Dalton 22 year old of Wilmington, was destined to become Miss USA, seeing as though her mother, Jeannie Boger, was also Miss NC USA in 1982 and her younger sister, Julia, was Miss NC Teen USA 2008. It is certainly clear that their family has the natural ability to win.
Kristen is a dancer and a singer who owns a degree in psychology and Spanish from East Carolina University.

THE WINNING CROWN
It's not the title, nor the crown that counts.
It's not the weight that's lost that really amounts.
It's not the makeup design, or the gown that you wear.
Or the shape of your build or the length of your hair.
You see, the growth of a Queen is all done inside.
Its nothing support hose or makeup can hide
The real preparation is done in the mind.
Its leaving your fears and your faults behind.
Its lifting your soul to a place thats far seen.
Its molding a woman to the height of a Queen.
Its hard and its work, its not easily done.
But when it is over, youll know who has won.
When the pageant is through and the lights are turned down,
You'll know you're a winner and you'll have your crown.
You see, all crowns are different, its really an art.
Yours can be rhinestones or the growth of the heart!
