McKenna Clayton, Reporter
McKenna is fifteen, and is a sophomore in high school. She was born on June 8th, 1996, and has lived in West Linn her entire life. At West Linn, her favorite class is Fiber Arts, as she enjoys engaging in activities such as crocheting and knitting. Outside of school she loves to crochet, train her llama, and practice music. Mckenna has been playing violin for eight years, and she’s just beginning to learn how to play the Mandolin. One thing that many people don’t know about her is that she has a pet llama, named Miss Demeanor. Her favorite type of food is Dim Sum, which is a variety of different kinds of Asian food. Her favorite show is called Top Gear, but she likes the UK version better than the American one.

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)
