Anthony Robles is one of the most inspirational college wrestlers in action today.
He was born with part of a leg missing... yet he competes for Arizona State University, and, in fact, won the 2009 Pac-10 conference title at 125 pounds. Then, a couple weeks later, Robles earned All-American honors by placing fourth at the 2009 NCAA Division I championships.
In fact, Robles was the subject of the very first College Wrestling Examiner article back in early April, referring to the Sun Devil wrestler as "the 11th champ" at the 2009 NCAAs.
Now Anthony Marc Robles is the subject of TheOpenMat's "7 Minutes on the Mat" question-and-answer session with top wrestlers. TOM asks Robles what he anticipates for the new season, what he thinks about MMA (mixed martial arts) competition, and who has had the greatest influence on his wrestling career, among other things.
