Behind the flailing arms, twisted torsos and puffy ears of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at Scottrade Center, Arizona State sophomore Anthony Robles was the most noticeable wrestler in the building. The inspiring Robles, just one of the many stories to be told and conversations to be had at the first of three days of the NCAA event, has never let the missing limb hold him back.
