Just moments ago, I was at the Clark County Public Library when a woman came running up to me exclaiming: She won! Michelle won!

It’s true: Winchester’s own Michelle Rodgers is the new America’s Junior Miss. The 2009 George Rogers Clark High School graduate won the competition in Mobile, Ala., Saturday.

Sun reporter Rachel Parsons is already working on a story for tomorrow.

I haven’t had the opportunity to meet Michelle yet, but based on what I’ve read about her and heard from her friends, she seems to be an amazing young woman.

Congratulations to Michelle and all those who helped her attain this achievement.

She has made Winchester proud.
