Angelae Busby is moving from Lenexa to Pratt today, and hopefully she'll enjoy the five-hour drive.
Busby will drive over 35,000 miles to fulfill her year of service as Miss Kansas 2003. She earned the crown Saturday after qualifying as Miss Cheney Lake, a preliminary pageant that took place last August. Cheney Lake is located 30 miles east of Wichita.
Driving long distances is nothing new for the Lenexa senior, who drove nearly 3,000 miles to nine Kansas towns last year trying to qualify for the Miss Kansas pageant. This year, she qualified in her first attempt.
"If you want to be Miss Kansas badly enough you'll do what it takes," Busby said.
She will live in Pratt for the next year to

After winning the title of Miss Kansas last Saturday, Angiele Busby, Lenexa senior, is moving to Pratt. Busby will go on to compete in the Miss America competition Sept. 20, 2003.
be close to the pageant's board of directors. Busby said she wanted to use her crown to raise awareness of depression, a disease that nearly killed one of her close family members.
"No one wants to be the poster child for depression but if need be (my family) will," she said.
Busby, a journalism major in strategic communications, will take a year off from school to devote herself to a busy public speaking schedule. She will return to school in 2004 with a $5,000 scholarship and wants to attend law school after graduation.
Lisa Perez Miller, co-executive director of Miss Kansas, said Busby would speak to all grade levels on depression and drug and alcohol abuse.
"It's a full-time job," Miller said. "She could be in four schools in one day."
Busby will spend the next three months preparing for the Miss America pageant Sept. 20 in Atlantic City, N.I.
"I've wanted to be Miss America ever since I can remember," Busby said. "I dressed up as Miss America at least three times for Halloween."
Busby won the talent portion of the competition with a baton twirling routine set to Barbara Streisand's "Don't Rain On My Parade." She was also a finalist in the interview portion of the event.
Miller said the judges of the Miss Kansas Pageant look for someone who is passionate, independent, flexible and a good role model.
No first-time contestant had won the crown since 1980.
