Harrison named Assistant Athletic Trainer
(published 12/9/11) Waleska, Ga. – 
Kelley Harrison has joined Reinhardt University as its assistant athletic trainer. Harrison is responsible for assisting head athletic trainer Ashley Wolary with all aspects of Reinhardt’s athletic training program, which includes the prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries and related illnesses for approximately 250 student-athletes who participate in 16 sports programs.
“I actually was an undergrad with Ashley and we worked together then,” Harrison said. “I wanted to try experiencing the smaller-school atmosphere and stay in college athletics. I like Reinhardt and the family atmosphere.”
