The two received their crowns from last year's King and Queen, Cole Tharp and Maddie Moen, during the traditional coronation, during the Thursday evening pep rally that followed the parade. The 10 finalists stood in a circle, facing outward, as last year's royalty made the rounds, pretending to put the crown on each of them, before finally crowning Alex and Katie.
