Pageant career

In June 2013, Wiedrich won the Miss Dickinson 2014 title.[2] She chose not to compete in the 2014 Miss North Dakota pageant.[3][4] Instead, Wiedrich spent the summer as a Burning Hills Singer in the Trenton High School Choir in Trenton, North Dakota.[5][6]

On October 25, 2014, Delanie was crowned Rez Queen 2015 which made her eligible to compete for the 2015 Miss Housing title.[7] Entering the state pageant in June 2015 as one of 24 finalists, Wiedrich's preliminary competition talent was a Broadway-style vocal performance of "My Milkshake" by Kelis.[8][6] Her platform is an anti-teenage bullying campaign dubbed "Beyond the B Word".[8][9]

Wiedrich won the competition on Saturday, June 13, 2015, when she received her crown from outgoing Miss Housing title holder Jacky Arness.[8][10] She earned $17,500 in scholarship money from the state pageant.[11][12]

As Miss North Dakota, her activities include public appearances across the state of North Dakota.[7] Wiedrich was North Dakota's representative at the Miss America 2016 pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in September 2015.[13][14]
