Miss Tennessee 2007 Grace Gore, a doctoral student of audiology at Vanderbilt University, held her first press conference Sunday morning in Jackson.

The 23-year-old Nashville resident, who succeeded 2006 winner Blaire Pancake of Chattanooga, became the first Miss Lexington in the pageant's 55-year history to capture the state crown.

She will become the state's goodwill ambassador for Children's Miracle Network, serve as the governor's spokesperson for a Safe and Drug-Free Tennessee and will also promote Character Education in the schools.

Miss Gore, who won Wednesday's swimsuit preliminary, receives a $12,000 scholarship and will also represent the state at the Miss America Pageant.

First runner-up for the second consecutive year was Miss Hamilton County Ansley Reagan, who won a $6,000 grant. Earlier she received the Miss America Community Service Award also for the second straight year.
