With a little help from Earth, Wind and Fire, a UW-Madison senior tap danced her way to the Miss Madison Area 2006 title.
Kimberly Pifer, 21, beat out seven other contestants Saturday at Monona Grove High School in front of two dozen of her friends and family members and a crowd of about 200.
Pifer said she intends to use her new position to emphasize the need for gender parity in athletics.
