Dustin Carter

Looks can be deceiving, especially in the case of Dustin Carter. The 103-pound wrestler from Hillsboro (Ohio) High had to have each of his limbs amputated when he was 5 after contracting a rare, life-threatening blood disorder. His physical stature has hardly taken away from his athletic career, though. Before taking a rare 1-0 loss at the National High School Coaches Association Senior Nationals in Virginia Beach, Carter owned a 41-2 record on the season and had reached the state championships. He finished third in his school's region and inked his name among the state's best wrestlers.
