MCPHERSON, Kan. – Amy Fearnside started to wrestle as a sophomore at Live Oak (Calif.) High School. She quickly loved the sport, competed three years and earned a California state championship as a senior. Fearnside had four top-three national showings at the University of Jamestown in North Dakota. She is currently a member of Team USA in Colorado Springs. On Saturday, Fearnside came to the McPherson High School Roundhouse for the third annual Kansas unofficial state wrestling tournament. Fearnside spoke at the 9 a.m. opening ceremonies and gave an award to McPherson coach Doug Kretzer for his work in developing girls’ wrestling in Kansas. Then, she talked to girls throughout the day on a variety of topics. For at least one wrestler, she helped her with a move. “From what I can see, they are super passionate for the sport, just for the raw love of the sport, and nothing beyond,” Fearnside said. “That alone is their motivation. They love it. They are enjoying it so much, and you can see it in their faces just light up. They are excited to come in here and do this. They remind me of my roots.” Rest of the story at https://www.catchitkansas.com/content/news/Girls-State-Wrestling-Fearnside-pleased-to-help-KS-girls-other-area-winners-505645541.html?mc_cid=538e43b178&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
