About this Article

On bright gold and brown mats in Carmel Catholic's second-floor wrestling room, Cristian Migliarese walks the walk. He crawls, actually. The diminutive senior with the torso shaped like a “V,” which may as well stand for victory, is too modest to talk the talk. And, please, don't pity him because he uses crutches to traverse wherever he roams.
