Rikin Patel, Sports Editor

Rikin joined the Tribune because he wanted to write about sports, record a fantasy sports podcast and write about business/economics. Rikin is politically active and believes civic engagement by high school students is very important. Rikin has been a staff writer for two years. Rikin religiously follows the NFL. His favorite animal is the Saber-toothed tiger. If Rikin could be any other person on the Tribune he would be Jade because Rikin is interested in investigative writing. Rikin's goal for Journalism this year is to write as many articles as he can!
