LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska high school wrestling champion who lost his left leg after a car accident this spring is looking forward to his recovery and attending the University of Wyoming in the fall.

But first Doyle Trout graduated from Centennial High School Saturday afternoon and received a standing ovation as he received his diploma.

The four-time Nebraska state champion told the Lincoln Journal Star (http://bit.ly/1QUrhgG ) he’s been overwhelmed by all the support he has received since the April 5 accident.

Trout says he hasn’t even had time to read all the letters he’s received.

Trauma surgeon Reginald Burton says Trout’s life was saved by his seat belt when his left leg was crushed and his right leg broken.

Wyoming is honoring Trout’s scholarship, and he hopes to wrestle again someday.
