Royalty crowned at halftime of Homecoming game

PUEBLO – Chianna Schoenthaler was crowned the 2017 Homecoming Royal during the 2017 Homecoming activities at Colorado State University-Pueblo, Oct. 5 to Oct. 8. Schoenthaler, Strasburg, Colo., a senior Mass Communications major, was presented with a crown and cape during halftime of the ThunderWolves 63-17 victory over Adams State in the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl. 

The homecoming Royal is chosen based off of four factors; academics, interview, campus and community involvement, and student votes. 

Schoenthaler is a member of the President’s Leadership Program, the assistant editor-in-chief and social media content manager for the CSU-Pueblo Today, a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success, and a member of the Alpha Lambda Delta-National Honors Society.

All candidates were required to attend Homecoming activities, including the Howlin’ House Party and pep rally on Friday as well as the student tailgate and game on Saturday.  Tom and Vivian Hall, owners of Tom G.
