The Kansas City, Kansas, Board of Education on Tuesday night approved a proposal to let wrestling restart.
The proposal presented by Tammie Romstad, the district’s director of athletics, will allow wrestling practices and competitions to start on Wednesday, Jan. 13.
Voting to allow wrestling to start again were Yolanda Clark, Maxine Drew, Randy Lopez and Stacy Yeager. Voting no on starting wrestling were Janey Humphries, Wanda Brownlee Paige and Valdenia Winn.
“I do not feel comfortable having children wrestling,” Humphries said. “That is too close a contact for me. We want people to wear masks and stay six feet apart.”

When the Kansas State High School Activities Board of Directors voted two weeks ago to prevent spectators from attending winter sports activities until late January, it caused an uproar across the state.
The loudest cries were from parents, demanding to watch their children compete and perform.
Those voices were heard. And starting Thursday, that’s exactly what can happen.
Two weeks after voting 50-26 to not allow spectators, the Board of Directors reversed its course on the issue at Tuesday’s special BOD meeting. By a 54-24 vote, the board passed an amended proposal sent forward last week from the KSHSAA appeal board that allows up to two parents/guardians per participant(s) family as allowed by local board of education or health department restrictions effective Dec. 10.
