You would have seen some extra wide smiles walking the halls of Sevastopol High School on Monday after seniors Kylee Duessler and Emily Bley each won their respective categories at Saturday’s Miss Door County competition at the Southern Door Auditorium. Duessler was crowned Miss Door County, beating out Vanessa DeMarinis and Abielle Lenius. The future UW-Milwaukee biomedical engineering student played “Andante et Allegro” on the trumpet for her talent and promoted her community service initiative, “Trust Your Training; Anxiety Awareness in Athletics.”
Her classmate, Emily Bley, won the Miss Door County Teen title ahead of Anna Dalke, Isabel Jeanquart, and Sayde Jeanquart. The future NWTC nursing student sang Taylor Swift’s Back in December and discussed her community service initiative, “Nutrition Before Competition.” All of the contestants shared $8,500 in college scholarships. Duessler and Bley will advance to this summer’s Miss Wisconsin and Wisconsin Teen pageants held June 17-22, 2024 in Oshkosh.
