Thirteen Mundelein High School seniors have been selected to compete for the annual title of “Mr. Mustang.” They will participate in a public competition event Friday, March 2 beginning at 7 p.m. in the MHS Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students, seniors and children. All proceeds will cover the Senior Class of 2018 Graduation Party. The emcees, chosen by their peers, are Andrew Owens and Shane Stanley.
The senior girls voted earlier to choose senior guys to vie for the title. Those who made the cut then auditioned for members of the Mundelein Parent Group who sponsor the event. After auditions, the number was cut to 13.
The evening competition will include a couple’s introductory dance with senior girls and individual talent performances. After that, the 13 will be cut to five who will then answer questions posed to them. Mr. Mustang and two runners-up will be announced at the close of the event. A panel of judges will do the balloting.
This year’s contestants include: Robbie Iraburo Cochran, Kyle Ehemann, Dan Haller, Benton Holly, Jared Honda, Eubin Kim, Jun Young Lee, Nicholas Manaligod, Steven Miritello, Carter Pacis, Shlok Patel, Ricky Rodriguez and Ryan Story.
