As the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters approach their 13th season, the team has announced the
addition of Rachael Leystra to the 2022 front office staff as the Marketing and Inside Sales
Manager.
Rachael Leystra is approaching her first season with the Rafters as the Marketing and Inside Sales Manager. Leystra will be working with 9 Game Pack holders and groups. She will also oversee the promotional team in order to provide a unique ballpark experience. Rachael joins us after completing a Marketing and Promotions internship with the Eau Claire Express during the 2021 season.
Rachael graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stout with a double major in Hotel,
Restaurant, Tourism Management and Golf Enterprise Management. She also minored in
