== National team career ==

She joined the [[United States women's national under-20 soccer team]] in 1994, playing in the Nordic Cup (amongst other events). In 1995, she was a member of the West Team at the US Olympic Festival, and she was invited to train with the National team. While a senior in high school, at the age of 17, she was named an alternate for the 1996 [[1996 Summer Olympics|Atlanta Olympic Games]] team (which won gold at the tournament). Fair rejected the chance to travel as an alternate because she was upset at being cut from national [[Coach (sports)|coach]] [[Tony DiCicco]]'s main 16 player squad.<ref>{{Citation |last=Caparaz |first=Dean |title=U.S. Women: Wilson survives final cut |url=http://www.socceramerica.com/article/16036/us-women-wilson-survives-final-cut.html|access-date=January 4, 2014 |publisher= [[Soccer America]]|date=July 3, 1996}}</ref>
