One-legged wrestler, Arizona State's Anthony Robles wins 125-lbs NCAA Wrestling National Championship.

The Sun Devils senior, who was born with only one leg, used two near fall tilts in the first period to down defending champion Matt McDonough of Iowa, 7-1. 

As the final whistle blew, Robles buried his head in the mat and then looked up to the sky with a smile.

"It was huge. I had a lot of butterflies going out there," said Robles. "I've dreamt about stepping on that stage a dozen times, and this whole year I've just been preparing for that moment."

The performance helped him earn Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament
