The runners for Homecoming King and Queen are Ty Grove and Morgan Iverson, Chuck Norris and Amber Ebersole, Ciara Rauch and Sawyer Strine, Brayton Atherton and Natalie Monninger, and Jacob Frey and Lindsay Plessinger.
“I’m super excited to be running and I can’t wait to spend time with my friends and dance,” Grove said.
The senior candidates have encouraged voting by handing out sweet treats and incentives, also showing their morals and values to persuade students to vote in their favor.
“I believe someone is a good candidate when they are kind, enjoyable to be around, and actually interested in running with their candidate partner. It wouldn’t persuade me to vote for someone if they aren’t kind or are just trying to make a joke of it when there are other people who actually strive to be King and Queen,” Iverson said.
Other students joined for a plethora of reasons, but Strine wanted to represent and include variety for everyone in the community. “I wanted to run to give some diversity to the court and show people that no matter who you are, you can always do whatever you want,” Strine said.
