Snow Week King Justin Beman lip-synced to, “I’m Just Ken,” by Ryan Gosling from the new “Barbie” movie. According to his slide at the pepfest, Beman is involved in hockey, and lacrosse, and his future plans involve becoming a genie. 

His favorite memory was taking Foods 2 with Ben Buytaert. Beman explains the preparation for the lip sync, “We practiced the skit for a little while during the Super Bowl and a little before having to do it in the gym.” He danced alongside five of his friends Ethan Fitch, Brody Goodnature, Caleb Fast, Keagan Titchy and Jack Kelvie.

2024 Snow Week Queen Danika Ringhofer 

Snow Week queen Danika Ringhofer lip-synced to the infamous song, “Lip Gloss,” by Lil Mama. Alongside her were Taya Selbrade and Sammantha Bogen, who were also in the Snow Week Top 5. Ringhofer is involved in softball, basketball, NHS, Thriving Minds, and Exchange Club. Ringhofer plans on attending Minnesota State University Mankato next year with an undecided major. 

Her favorite high school memory was attending Friday night football games with her friends. Ringhofer said, “I initially had the idea of doing the song ‘Lip Gloss’ after the girl’s basketball team played it while lifting.” Ringhofer was a part of an ensemble performance. She says, “From there Sam and Taya agreed to do the song too and we got our friends to meet up with us and practice on Saturday.” All three Top 5 candidates danced with their eight friends, Zoie Roush, Averie Roush, Izzy Radel, Kennedy Hodgman, Katrina Ethen, Brooklyn Nelson, Halle Theis and Makenna Neumann.
