As with many of the student events it's all about the entrance. Many of the candidates and their escorts strutted their way down the red carpet. After the speakers we're finished it was time for the big moment. Everyone looked on as Fajardo walked side to side giving a tease as to who might be crowned. She even crowned herself to break the tension. As she made her way down the row of girls she stopped and placed the crown on Phenow. As the audience roared she realized that she was crowned.
