COLUMBUS — Two Ohio State-Lima students were named homecoming king and queen at a crowning ceremony in Columbus.
Kayla Brown, a junior from Clyde, and Logan Mitchell, a senior from Bellefontaine, represented Ohio State-Lima at the homecoming game vs. Maryland.
“Are there really words for setting foot onto the field that is home to the star players you have been watching since you were old enough to hold your own head up?” Brown said. “All regional courts were star stuck, and not because the players were within touching distance but star stuck by the wonder that is the Ohio State stadium field!”
Being on that field during the Homecoming game was a new experience for Mitchell.
“I’ve been on the field before and it was amazing, but to be able to be recognized and have my name called out while I stood on this great field where so many great Buckeyes stood before me was an experience that I will never forget,” Mitchell said.
Each of Ohio State’s five regional campuses crowned their king and queen during the Regional Campus Crowning Ceremony the Friday before the homecoming game. Each member of the regional and Columbus courts rode in the annual homecoming parade down High Street on Friday night, participated in the pep rally, attended the Skull Session and was recognized on the field while attending the Homecoming Game.
The Lima Homecoming Court was selected from a pool of applicants based on their leadership qualities, spirit, integrity, scholastic performance and achievement through their contributions and involvement at Ohio State.
A selection committee interviewed each applicant and chose three male and three female students to comprise the Lima Homecoming Court. The application and interview scores are combined with the student body vote to determine Lima’s king and queen.
The members of the 2017 Ohio State Lima Homecoming, in addition to Brown and Mitchell, include Levi Brake, a senior from Van Wert; Abbigaylle Conkle, a senior from New Bremen; and Spencer Vorst, a junior from Kalida.
