In Peter King's latest edition of the Monday Morning Quarterback: You are a better man than all of us, Anthony Robles of Arizona State. Robles, born without a right leg, won the NCAA wrestling championship in his weight class Saturday night, decisioning Matt McDonough of Iowa 7-1. That's as inspirational a story as I've seen in years, Robles hopping on and off of the mat and then dominating a series of foes.

@BFeldmanESPN (Bruce Feldman): Just saw video of ASU wrestling phenom Anthony Robles, who was born w/o his right leg. Goes for NCAA title today. Wow.
State University we still have five teams competing for national
championships (baseball, softball, men's and women's track and field and
men's golf). I thought this note might be some of interest to you.
During the modern era of NCAA-recognized National Championships, ASU has won
22 national titles in eight sports. They are:
Baseball -- 5
Men's Gymnastics -- 1
Women's Track & Field -- 3
Men's Track & Field -- 2
Wrestling -- 1
Men's Golf -- 2
Women's Golf -- 7
Softball -- 1
This is the fifth-most total in the Pacific-10 Conference: UCLA (105);
Stanford (99); USC (90); Cal (28); ASU (22); Arizona (17); Oregon (16);
Washington (6); Oregon State (3) and Washington State (2).
During Lisa Love's tenure as Vice President for Athletics at ASU, the Sun
Devils have won six NCAA National Championships (three in women's track &
field and one each in men's track & field, women's golf and softball). So
27.2 percent (six of 22) of ASU's NCAA-recognized National Championships
have come under the leadership of Lisa as VP for Athletics.
This list does not include the AIAW national titles that many of ASU's
sports teams won in the 1960's and 1970's, nor does it include the badminton
and archery titles that the NCAA never did recognize.
