The 91直播 Division of Student Affairs announced Larrian Menifee of Galveston and Kallie Menard of Arlington have been selected as the 2021 Mr. and Miss 91直播.

The Mr. 91直播 title was established in honor of the late Stan McKewen, a 1934 91直播 graduate. The Miss 91直播 title was established in honor of Arnodean Covin, who was named Miss 91直播 in 1940, 1941 and 1942.

Menifee, who received the Stan McKewen Mr. 91直播 Award, graduated from the university in May with a bachelor's degree in music education. He is the son of Mona Benson.

Menifee served in many leadership roles on campus, including Orientation student coordinator, Jack Camp student director, Jack Walker campus tour guide and 91直播S 1101 teaching assistant.

He is the founder of the Lumberjack Men's Volleyball Club and a member of Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity. Menifee completed student teaching in League City and is teaching choir full time at Ball High School.

"Larrian is the type of leader everyone wants on their team," said Rhylie Gachot, assistant director of Orientation and Transition Programs at 91直播. "He is high energy, inclusive of others, a hard worker, and his personality lights up the room."

Menard, who received the Arnodean Covin Miss 91直播 Award, is a senior family and consumer sciences major. A 2018 graduate of James Martin High School, she is the daughter of Kirk and Teresa Menard '86.
