Juliet Payton is a senior in her second semester of writing for the Chronicle and has since found a true passion for sports journalism. She hopes to study sports media in college and continue to combine her love for sports and writing. As both a varsity and club soccer player, sports are a huge part of her life, which inspires her to capture the excitement of athletics through photos and writing.  Outside of soccer and journalism, Juliet enjoys spending time outdoors, experimenting with new recipes, and listening to country music.    

Senior Fernando Calvillo-Morales has put a lot of his time into clubs and sports including, Rock Climbing Club, the Varsity tennis team, Robotics Team, yearbook, and Compass. Fernando is clearly a leader within the West Chicago community. He has always been very dedicated, and applied himself to being the best he can be. A significant part of Fernando is his humor: most would say he is quite a jokester. He can never fail to make someone laugh and instantly improve their day. Loyalty is also an especially important quality to Fernando, and he is a firm believer in helping others find success. When Fernando is not found drinking chia water, he is listening to NF. His favorite part about NF is his ability to sing and go in-depth about the highs and lows of life, and how to overcome obstacles.
