The 2009 U.S. Cherry Blossom Queen is Tatianna Duran of New Mexico. She won the title at last night's National Conference of State Societies Grand Ball. For the first time since the tradition began in 1948, the wheel of fortune stopped on the Land of Enchantment. Tatiana, a sophomore at George Washington University in the District of Columbia, is not a pageant girl. But when she was given the opportunity to represent the state of New Mexico in this year's Cherry Blossom Festival, she jumped at the chance. "I've never done a pageant," Duran said, adding that she was offered the position by the office of Sen. Jeff Bingaman, where she works. "But I was asked to represent my state and that's important."
