Alan M. Fried (born August 11, 1971) is an American amateur wrestler. He was an NCAA National Champion, Espoir World Champion (20 years and under), three-time Ohio State Champion, and the first wrestler to win four Junior National Freestyle titles. He is also an author. ==Early life and wrestling== Fried was born on August 11, 1971, in Poughkeepsie, New York to Kenneth (1942–2003) and Elaine Fried (1945–2004, née Agin). The couple also had another son, Adam. Fried began wrestling in the 5th grade at the Longwood YMCA in Macedonia, Ohio, where a trio of coaches had a major impact on him: head coach Dave Mariola and assistants Bernie Weiskopf and Tim Rutherford. A year later, he traveled to neighboring Pennsylvania to win the Pennsylvania Junior state championship; he repeated as champion the following two years prior to entering high school.〔http://www.intermatwrestle.com/articles/1555〕 Despite being Jewish and living on Cleveland's east side, Fried attended St. Edward High School, an all-boys catholic high school on the city's west side. The school was a wrestling powerhouse before Fried arrived, having won 8 Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) "big school" state titles under legendary coach Howard E. Ferguson as well as several national titles. Fried helped add two more state titles to St. Edward's streak of 10 consecutive state championships (1978–1987). The streak was broken in 1988, Fried's junior year. Fried's nemisis during High School was Patrick Berdysz from Mentor, he had faced him often. Fried flourished under the disciplined Ferguson. He had a tremendous high school wrestling career, amassing 139-3 record. He was a three-time Ohio State Champion (1987, 1988, 1989), and finished third (1986). He graduated from St. Edward in 1989.〔http://alumni.sehs.net/resource/resmgr/wrestling/state_champs-1.pdf〕 He would also compete in the USA Junior Freestyle Championships, where he would become the first wrestler to win four Junior National Freestyle titles.〔http://www.wrestlinghalloffame.org/wrestlers.php?wrestler=1458〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alan Fried」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
