Those who know high school wrestling appreciate the dedication and discipline a wrestler has to have to be successful. But he also needs a strong family backing. Jim and Marci Harrison are always in the stands and sister Annie Harrison is a volunteer assistant for the Road Crew.
When Christian was wrestling for Moorhead one parent would go to the college match with the other parent watching Joe with the Road Crew. At the next event, the parents would change places.
The Harrisons winning 500 matches put them with an elite group of wrestlers.
