Charlotte and Parker are two of our 5 outstanding wrestling managers, and were tremendous help to us this season. I sat down with them for a brief interview on their first year as W&L students, and wrestling managers.
Charlotte (left) is from Cranbury, NJ, and Parker (right) is from Houston, TX.
Coach Bennett: What made you decide to be a manager?
Parker and Charlotte: A couple of our freshman guy friends were on the team and asked us if we wanted to be managers. And we thought it would be a cool experience.
Q: Had you ever been involved with wrestling before this year?
Parker and Charlotte: A couple of our freshman guy friends were on the team and asked us if we wanted to be managers. And we thought it would be a cool experience.
Q: Had you ever been involved with wrestling before this year?
Parker: No, it was all new to me.
Charlotte: No, but I knew a little about it because wrestling was pretty prominent in my high schoool.
Q: What are your thoughts on your experiences with the team?
Parker and Charlotte: We had fun working for the team. They are a great group of guys.
Q: What are your thoughts on your first year as a student at W&L?
Parker: I love W&L and am having an awesome first year.
Charlotte: W&L is great and I am so glad I made the right choice of school.

Parker: I liked going to the tournaments and watching the matches.
Charlotte: I liked going to the matches and learning more about the sport.
Q: Favorite thing about W&L in general?
Parker: My favorite thing is getting a good education but having a whole lot of fun on the side.
Charlotte: I love the balance of academics and social life.
Q: Why should a prospective High School student-athlete come to W&L and wrestle for the Generals?
Parker: They will be a part of an awesome team and make some good friends.
Charlotte: They should join the team because they will get to know a great group of guys that are all really supportive.
In addition to Parker and Charlotte, we have 3 more managers who are also a great help to us, and we are thankful for their hard work and time spent with the team.
