SGA announced the Top 20 Miss Homecoming candidates in the Student Center on Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2018 in Auburn, Ala.

Tuesday evening, Miss Homecoming callouts were moved last minute to the Student Involvement Suite because of rain, but that didn't stop an abundance of students from gathering eagerly to hear the Top 20 candidates.

Bri Thomas, executive director of elections, and five women on the Elections Council announced the results in a matter of minutes. 

After all the names were called, the twenty who were nominated came inside the Involvement Suite to sign up for next-round interviews. Several of the girls expressed how excited they were to be a part of this group. 

Sarah Louise Boland, senior in the Harbert College of Business, mentioned how honored she was just to be nominated. 

“I can’t believe I made it this far,” Boland said. “It’s funny looking back at when I was a freshman and seeing all these wonderful women that I looked up to, and kind of being a part of that whole community and a part of this experience is such an honor.” 

Bentley Logue, a senior in environmental design, shared her emotions throughout the day and after she received the news. 

“I’m super excited. I’ve been anxious all day,” Logue said. “I’m just so grateful for all my friends who supported me to actually run for something like this."

Other girls experienced similar feelings to Logue. Arlene Maheu, senior in exercise science, admitted that she was a little nervous approaching the big reveal. 

“I was one of the last names called and it was super nerve wracking getting down to the wire, but when my name was called, all the adrenaline rushed to my body,” Maheu said.  

Results for the Top 5 will be announced Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 6 p.m., on the back steps of Cater Hall, weather permitting.
