for US Polo Association Tournament
June 16, 2010 (Philadelphia, PA) – In 2005, 1.5 million FHM readers voted for Lauren Harris to be crowned as the very first Miss FHM. Lauren has gone on to participate in various sports entertainment and competition opportunities as a well known “hottest girl next door” interested in putting the spotlight on all types of athletic competition.
During the past several weeks, Lauren has decided to take on the sport of polo after hearing the US Polo Association and its regional polo center – the Brandywine Polo Club – claim new players can get involved and learn the game quickly. Lauren has joined the ranks of individuals attending regular polo clinic training to prove it and will show her training session progress online at WMMR’s Preston & Steve Morning Show wmmr.com/shows/preston-and-steve. Lauren’s graduation from polo school will conclude with her participation in a Graduation Tournament at 1230pm on Sunday, June 20th preceding the weekly 3pm polo tournament game at the Brandywine Polo Club near Philadelphia, PA.
