Pageant career

Entering the state pageant in June 2015 as one of 24 finalists, Wiedrich's preliminary competition talent was a Broadway-style vocal performance of "On My Own" from Jekyll & Hyde. Her platform is an anti-teenage bullying campaign dubbed "Beyond the B Word".

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