According to Ty Austin, senior class president, the seniors won first place by 327 points in the 2016 Bengal Olympics, Friday, Sept. 9, at Bengal Field. Seniors reigned victorious throughout the whole Homecoming Spirit Week competition, taking first in the relay races and Homecoming hall decorations.
The fierce competition between each class and the teachers called for an intense match of tug-of-war between the seniors and the staff with the staff claiming boss.
Dillion Agee, senior, swept the enormous Effie Burger eating competition. The Basic White Girl Chug champion was Amy Chase, a forestry and chemistry teacher. The winner of the Whip Cream Bubble Gum challenge was senior Tony Murillo.
Treyce Bradley, sophomore, took gold at the entertaining Hula Girl Shake, which involved putting on a bikini and racing to see who could get the most shakes on a pedometer. Senior Gabriella Santana and staffer Mike Jones conquered the junior and sophomore competition on the jousting mats.
The Bengal Olympics ended with math teacher Adam Uptmor naming the 2016 Homecoming royalty. Seniors Jacob Duclos and Kallie Erickson were crowned king and queen. Along with Duclos and Erickson, Levi Speer and Ty Austin were awarded as senior princes, and Meg Woods and Geonna Travis were crowned senior princesses.
Junior princess went to Maddie Haas and junior prince went to Chris Powell. Sophomores Treyce Bradley and Peyten Ely also joined the crowning this year and took prince and princess, respectively.
