"To win king and queen is a great honor," Henze said. "It meant a lot to our organization."
Rygh said running for king and queen took a lot of hard work, but the late nights spent chalking were worth it in the end.
"This made Homecoming for me," she said. "Not just the personal success, but the exposure for C.E.O. as well."
Mike Baumhardt, chairman of the Homecoming Steering Committee, said early planning and an increase in the number of groups participating helped make Homecoming a success.
"Everything ran pretty smoothly," he said. "A lot of groups were already planning for this week over the summer. I think it was a great success."
Baumhardt said the number of groups participating increased from about 34 last year to 55 this year.

The Champion's Trophy was awarded to the American Marketing Association (AMA) for the student organization division, Arey/Benson for the residence hall division, and Pi Kappa Alpha for the greek division. The trophy was awarded based on event points earned over the course of the week.
