Williamson pursues her dream

A path which perfectly aligned all of Allix Williamson’s passions led her to Buies Creek, North Carolina and Campbell University. It was a case of both proactive networking and impeccable timing. The 2013 Fort Dodge Senior High graduate became the Campbell wrestling program’s director of operations this past fall, giving Williamson an early introduction to real-world responsibilities at the Div. I level as she simultaneously completes her master’s degree through the University of Missouri — a school nearly 1,000 miles away from her current home.

“It’s a great time to be a woman in the sport of wrestling,” said Williamson, a decorated cheerleader at FDSH who also cheered at Wartburg University. “From recent high school grads like Felicity Taylor, to Iowans competing on the international level like Rachel Watters, incredible women are driving for positive change. “(Head) coach (Cary) Kolat posted on Twitter in August that they were looking for a director of operations (at Campbell). I submitted my application, and the rest is history.”  Rest of the story athttp://www.messengernews.net/sports/local-sports/2019/01/williamson-pursues-her-dream/?mc_cid=ecd50ebfff&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
