ANTHONY ROBLES IS CRUTCHING, and he is crutching fast.
It's only 7:58 a.m. on this day in May, but Robles, the NCAA champion wrestler at Arizona State born with one leg, is practically skiing in the air, even though he's carrying two backpacks around his wrists, and a box in his hands. He operates his crutches with just his armpits -- they have gotten so strong and calloused in his 33 years on Earth that they can squeeze and push and pull just like hands. These days, he can crutch a mile in eight minutes.
