Logan Christensen, sophomore, has been interested in writing, media, reporting and news since the 2016 presidential election.
“The 2016 election was my first real experience with politics and the first time I started paying attention to the news,” Christensen said. ”I was intrigued by the political climate and how it influenced the news and media.”
When Christensen isn’t looking into politics or reading articles, he can be commonly spotted playing soccer at Rosemont Middle School and the high school. Christensen plays for Crossfire Oregon and for the high school team.
“I think I like the high school team better because it is a short season, but very intense,” Christensen said. “I really enjoy playing with friends that I see at school. It really strengthens friendships.”
Although the only sport Christensen plays competitively is soccer, he enjoys a large variety of sports and activities.
“I enjoy most athletic activities, especially when I am competing against people,” Christensen said.
Christensen is looking forward to helping provide West Linn with relevant and reliable news as a Journalism 1 student.

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)
