Kristin Davis and Stuart Watkins were crowned Homecoming queen and king Saturday at halftime of the LSU football game against University of Louisiana-Monroe.
Watkins, a human resources and leadership development senior and former Student Government president, said the honor is an opportunity to be part of a meaningful tradition.
“It means a lot to be a part of something that is so special to LSU,” Watkins said.
Watkins said he owes the crown to his friends for getting him to this point.
“This title is something I can share with my friends and fraternity brothers,” he said. “It truly is a great way to end my senior year.”
Davis, a psychology senior, said the experience was surreal.
“To have the ability to walk onto the field of Tiger Stadium is unlike any other experience,” she said.
Davis said being on the court alone was an unbelievable experience and winning has been a great way to represent the University.
“Since I graduate in December, I hope to represent LSU wherever I go,” Davis said.
Homecoming 2010 also represented the 150th anniversary of the University.
The occasion was honored by LSU Day, which was scheduled for last semester, but inclement weather forced organizers to reschedule festivities to Saturday.
Amelia Burns, chair of the LSU Student Homecoming Committee, said there were a lot more people on campus than other in-state games.
“With family weekend, homecoming festivities and LSU Day all on the same weekend, LSU saw a great influx of people,” she said.
