Adonis Lattimore is the State Class 6 wrestling champion. He’s also a champion of the phrase “no excuses.”
Born without full legs and only one finger on his right hand, the senior at Landstown High School in Virginia Beach captured the state crown Feb. 19 at the Virginia Beach Sports Center.
Competing at 106 pounds, Lattimore finished the season with a 32-7 record after defeating Korlan Tran of Lake Braddock High School in Burke, 5-1, in the state finals.
“Really, if you work hard, you can do anything, even win the state championship without legs,” he told the media.
