RAYMOND OUELLETTE (Athlete, Class of 2009)
As a freshman at Warren High School, Ray Ouellette’s dual meet win helped deny Bristol a share of the 1972 Suburban East Wrestling Co-Championship. He finished the season with a dual meet record of fourteen wins and no losses and a fourth place finish at the state championship tourney.
In 1973 he was a member of the undefeated Warren High School team that captured both the Suburban East and Suburban State Championships. Also the Suburban Holiday Tourney winner, Ray again garnered fourth place at the state tourney and was named first team All Suburban East.
The Redskins fell to second place the following year, but Ray continued to out-perform his opponents. Wrestling at one hundred and nineteen pounds, he was named a Suburban East All Star, finished second in the state, and captured fifth place honors at the New England Championships. Named to the All State squad, he was again designated first team All Suburban East.
As a senior Ray was named a Suburban East All Star once again, finished fourth in the state tournament, and received first team All Suburban East honors.
He later coached in the sport, both at the junior boys level and as Warren High School’s assistant coach in 1986 and 1987.
More recently he helped coached Warren Under-Twelve girls soccer teams to Super Liga divisional and state titles.
