HOMECOMING TOP 5 RALLY

The long anticipated Homecoming Top 5 Rally took place on October 16, where five couples, chosen by their peers, were announced as the 2009 court: David Cho, Katie Colin, Zach Gray, Shayna Guitare, Ali Nazari, Tori Izumi, Chris Partida, Natalie Kalinski, Franck Xian, and Chie Tamada.
