Zach Wiegele, Senior Reporter

Zach’s first go at journalism during his senior year brings an exciting addition to the Wildcat Chronicle’s staff. As a Varsity football and basketball player, Zach wanted to play in the NBA when he was little, but is now undecided about his future career. Despite his teams holding back in achieving his NBA dreams, Zach finds determination in performing his best when he is in action. 

Curiously, Zach enjoys following crimes and figuring out the aftermath.
