Kendall Wild

CONGRATULATIONS TO KENDALL WILD – YOUR NEWLY CROWNED 2026 NATIONAL MISS AMAZING TEEN QUEEN ON JULY 26, 2026, IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

Kendall Wild. Kendall is 16 years old and from Canal Winchester, Ohio.

Kendall loves all things alpacas. She shows an alpaca that is deafblind through 4-H and has even written a children’s book called, “Lacee Finds a Friend” that she has shared with children in schools, day care, and at the state braille challenges.

This past year, Kendall made and sold pies to raise money to purchase braille books for her local library. After volunteering at several events for those with visual impairments and blindness, she learned that many children do not have access to braille books at their local libraries. Kendall created the first “Braille Book Nook” at our local library. Between her sales of pies and donations from other blindness organizations, Kendall donated over 60 books that are in print and braille to the local library. Now any child can check out a book and be able to read it, no matter what form of print they read. She also created a display about braille so that parents and their children could learn more about the braille they found in the newest collection of books at the library. The books can be checked out by anybody within the local and surrounding communities as other families can request that the books be shipped to their own home libraries.

Kendall will be very busy representing our state with her research on llama fleece. She received first place at the FFA Agriscience Fair at the Ohio FFA Convention. Just recently she learned she will be representing Ohio at the “Big E” regional agriscience fair and has submitted her research for consideration at the national level.

In addition to her time in 4-H and FFA, Kendall is also a member of Girl Scouts and serves as a leader in training for a junior troop, church youth group, her school’s tennis team, and serves on our county junior fair board. Be sure to stop by the Lausche Building at the Ohio State Fair to see Kendall volunteering with the state 4-H Teen Leadership Council at the various contests this summer at the state fair. She will start working events just 2 days after nationals! Be sure to ask her about meeting Temple Grandin this summer!

This was Kendall’s’ first year participating in Ohio Miss Amazing and this will be her first year on the BIG Stage in Chicago at the National Miss Amazing Summit. I am so excited and can’t wait to see Kendall showcase her talents and platform to EVERYONE this weekend!!
