Mr. Pueblo Warrior 2017 Contestants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Feb. 10, 2017, Pueblo held is 6th\u00a0annual Mr. Warrior Pageant for senior males to show the judges what they got.<\/p>\n

Contestants had to endure four different events to prove to judges why they should be Mr. Warrior. They were graded all on a scale from one through five (with \u201cfive\u201d being the highest).<\/p>\n

The originator of the Mr. Warrior Pageant, counselor Mrs. Teresa Toro, said, \u201cThey boys went through four major events. First\u2014contestants were judged on a \u201cstrike a pose\u201d dance routine; then, the boys had to \u201csurvive\u201d a \u201cswimsuit cat walk\u201d; thirdly, each contestant had to show off one of their talents; and, lastly, each participated in the \u201cGala\u201d event\u2014that is, presenting their female escort with a thoughtful gift; the boys were required to wear tuxedos!<\/p>\n

\"Mr.<\/a><\/p>\n

The pageant is also a fundraiser\u2014to help seniors raise money for their senior gift as well as to award a senior a $500 scholarship. This year, because of all of the money raised, two scholarships will be awarded to graduating seniors.<\/p>\n

The four finalists were faced with a pageant question to end the competition; according to Mrs. Toro, whoever answered it the best\u2014evaluated by the judges\u2014won the pageant.<\/p>\n

The winner of the 6th\u00a0Annual Mr. Warrior Pageant\u2026? None other than Manuel Enrique Navarro, who won two free tickets to Prom, a free tuxedo rental and an Olive Garden restaurant gift card.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Olive Garden,\u201d Navarez said. \u00a0He paused and said, \u201cHonestly, winning was a total surprise, but I\u2019m not going to lie\u2014it felt good to win. Like, whoa! I\u2019m Mr. Warrior!\u201d<\/p>\n
