Miss North Carolina Crowned Miss USA 2009

LAS VEGAS (AP) ― Miss North Carolina USA Kristen Dalton has been crowned Miss USA 2009.

The 21-year-old aspiring motivational speaker from Wilmington beat out 50 other beauty queens in a live pageant televised from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

Dalton edged out first runner-up Miss California USA Carrie Prejean, of San Diego, and second runner-up Miss Arizona USA Alicia-Monique Blanco, of Phoenix. Last year's Miss USA was Crystle Stewart of Texas.

The title comes with a year's use of a New York apartment, a public relations team, a two-year scholarship at the New York Film Academy and an undisclosed salary.

Dalton will go on to compete for the Miss Universe title in the Bahamas in August.
