Timothy, T.J. Sanchez was belted Mr. CHS on Sunday afternoon at the 24th annual competition at the Crookston High School auditorium. Sanchez is the son of Timothy Sanchez and Josey Katelyn.
Sanchez was excited and honored to be the winner of the Mr. CHS contest. “I’m a little excited though it feels a little weird that I have to wear such a huge belt cause I’m always used to wearing small belts, but I think I’ll get used to carrying this around all week, inside my house,” said Sanchez. “But it feels great, and I can’t wait to be here next year, and I guess I’ll get to dance again, but that’ll be fun when the time comes.”
Sanchez and the other contestants had practiced over the week to learn the opening number and prepare for the Mr. CHS competition. “The girls of the Student Council helped us. We were a little hesitant, but we did really well. We practiced about an hour each day besides Wednesday when we had no school,” Sanchez explained. “Thankfully, yesterday and today, we were here for about two hours getting everything down to make sure there were no mistakes, and we were all ready. I want to give a shout-out to Mr. Torgerson for getting cream pied in the face.”
