Isabella Cao, Yearbook Co-editor in-chief
Four years on yearbook staff and inspiring Best in Show award winner Isabella Cao, 12 quit volleyball for all the right reasons. “ I used to play volleyball but it was taking up way too much of my life so I quit,” Cao said. “ I still coach younger kids though.”
Cao really didn’t have much interest in yearbook at first “I went into yearbook freshman year, I kinda got recruited,” Cao said. “ I signed up for one semester but Mr.Krake wanted me to stay and become an editor, so I did.”
Cao’s free time is mostly taken up by yearbook. She’s always at events or helping yearbook 1,2, and 3 staff members. Cao’s also taking many AP classes this senior year. “I’m taking AP English 12, AP Calc bc, AP Physics 1, and AP French, “ Cao said.

Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)

Meikle, who was an Editor-in-Chief for the yearbook last year as well, holds both and stands at the center of the group. “That was an amazing feeling, going and grabbing the third place award,” Meikle said. “All of it paid off. I cried so much over that book, being able to receive [the award] was one of the highlights of my high school career, it was like the coolest thing ever.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/8bookpose_philly-1200x800.jpg)
