The Miss Syracuse 2014 Triple Crown Scholarship Competition was held at the Palace Theatre in Syracuse on Sunday, February 16, 2014. Anastasia Harisis of Rochester competes in the Miss talent competition.

Miss Syracuse, I'm really happy for you and imma let you finish, but Anastasia Harisis of Rochester deserves recognition for her powerhouse version of "Defying Gravity" from the Broadway smash "Wicked."

Every woman in the Miss Syracuse 2014 Triple Crown Scholarship Competition had roughly 90 seconds onstage to wow the judges with a talent. The talent segment makes up 35 percent of each competitor's final score.

Harisis was last to take the stage after 15 other gifted performances from the Miss Syracuse contestants, plus four more from the Outstanding Teen competitors. Many sang, danced or played instruments. Two women nailed their spoken word performances. One even skated around the stage on a [sic] Ripstik.

Undoubtedly, the Palace Theatre audience cheered loudest and clapped hardest for Harisis, drowning out her final notes. Maybe it was because the talent segment was finally over, but we're guessing that high F helped.

See for yourself in the video above.
