<p>The pageant included an evening dress competition for the girls and a talent category. Starner&#8217;s ballet dance helped her to victory.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was shocked, in awe really,&#8221; Starner said. &#8220;It was a great feeling.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gross said, &#8220;I was a bit anxious before they announced the winners, but pleasantly surprised when they called my name.&#8221;</p>
<p>They both received free prom tickets, parking at the front of the school, entry to sporting events, and grad bash tickets.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m mostly looking forward to representing the school and supporting the community,&#8221; Starner said.</p>
<p>Gross agreed, adding, &#8220;I&#8217;m definitely looking forward to hosting the pageant next year.&#8221;</p>
<p>Among the other 2015-16 winners at the pageant were sophomore princess Langston Sellars, junior princess Maile Resch and prince Ryan Blakemore and senior princess Nicole Peterson and prince Lentz Laurent.</p>
