Local Reporter Competes For Title Of Miss New York

It’s a big weekend across New York State as a handful of talented ladies have been selected to represent their city in a huge competition.

Back in November, the 2023 Miss Buffalo competition was held at Bennett High School, and there were five winners who were crowned, automatically guaranteeing them a spot at the Miss New York competition.

You may recognize one of the ladies in particular. Chelsea Lovell, reporter and anchor for News 4 in Buffalo, was crowned Miss Buffalo, and she has been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to compete in the Miss New York pageant this weekend. 

The full list of winners from Western New York are: 

• Chelsea Lovell, Miss Buffalo
• Zhanna Reed, Miss Niagara
• Serena Exantus, Miss Flower City
• Madisen Wilson, Miss Buffalo Outstanding Teen
• Mya-Isabell Samuel, Miss Niagara Outstanding Teen

Lovell shared some pictures after receiving the Miss Buffalo official title. 

“Thank you to the judges for giving me this opportunity, I look forward to representing the Queen City at Miss New York!”

Now, they are preparing to crown the 2023 Miss New York, and we couldn’t be more excited to root for our fellow Western New Yorkers. 

The Miss delegates will compete in two preliminary competitions on Friday June 2nd and Saturday June 3rd, 2023. The semi-finalists will then join the Teen delegates in a combined final competition on Sunday June 4th.
