WRESTLERETTE SPONSOR AND STAFF
Keeping Score, Time, and Wrestlers in Line!
The Harrison Wrestlerettes are the backbone of the wrestling program. In addition to being the official score keepers for the wrestling team, our Wrestlerettes keep and maintain stats on every wrestler in the program, video matches for use by the coaches and the wrestlers, and track and inventory equipment and uniforms. Our Wrestlerettes travel with the team to local and out of state tournaments, and set up and organize all home tournaments and matches to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Along with all of their hard work keeping score, time, and wrestlers in line, the Harrison Wrestlerettes generate an amazing amount of enthusiasm and team spirit by creating the posters, bulletin boards, and banners seen throughout the school.
If you are interested in becoming a Wrestlerette, please email Kelli Connors, Program sponsor.
