A leap year homecoming night brought student-athletes, roaring student crowds and alumni together to celebrate the end of Heritage Month in February.

With more than 30 nominations for homecoming royalty, Chase Wiebe was crowned king and Elise Helfrich was crowned queen.

Wiebe is eager to pursue a career in health care and “be generous with the blessings I’ve been given,” while Helfrich’s goal as a future dentist is to infuse her faith into her profession, serving as “the hands and feet of Christ to everybody.”

Sister Tarcisia Roths, ASC, said she loves coming back for as many Newman basketball games as she can, “but especially for homecoming.”

“It’s that special time when everybody renews their love for Newman, and over the years my love has only grown,” Roths said.

“I hope to see more alumni coming back and attending the games.”
