(Harrison, Oh.) – Harrison High School wrestling standout Chloe Dearwester has been named Outstanding Wrestler of the Year.

The OHSWCA announced Dearwester as the 2022 Toccara Montgomery Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Year on Tuesday.

The award is named after Toccara Montgomery, who won four U.S. National titles between 2001-2004 and was a member of the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team.

Dearwester, a sophomore, receives the award after winning back-to-back OHSWCA state titles. She was the 106 lb. champion in 2021, and the 105 lb. champion this past February. Harrison would go on to win the team championship as well, the first team state title in district history.

Individually, Dearwester finished the season with a record of 15-0 against all girls and 25-8 record against boys.

Harrison's coaching staff was also recognized by the OHSWCA. The 2022 OHSWCA Girls Coach of the Year award went to Harrison’s Chris Baird and staff.

Baird coached two state champions, five total state placers and eight state qualifiers this season.

Costume Swap at the Dearborn County Recycling Center
The Dearborn County Recycling Center’s Costume Swap was created as an annual event offering customers the chance to share and reuse costumes that would otherwise only be worn once. Last year over 800 individuals used the program. The program saves money and reduces waste by reusing items that otherwise would only be used once. Over 1,000 costumes for adults and children are available. Masks, wigs, makeup, accessories, treat bags and décor are also available. All available costumes are clean and in good condition, with many being brand new. The sizes of costumes range from infant and toddler to adult sizes. Costume Swap even has a small selection of pet costumes. Participants are asked to bring a costume that is clean, in ready-to-wear condition, and free of rips, tears, and stains. To be considered for exchange, all costumes must also be complete with original items, including masks and accessories that came with the costume originally. Those without a costume to exchange are asked to make a cash donation to the reuse program. Shopping times and the number of guests allowed to shop at a time will be limited. Visit dearborncountyrecycles.com for more information. Participants should be prepared with a donation in case their costume is not accepted. The program does not operate as a charity. Costume Swap is open to everyone; it is not exclusively for Dearborn County residents.
