ST160: NCAA Division II Wrestler of the Year Chris Watson wins national title, beats blood clot

Central Oklahoma senior Chris Watson has battled through injuries his entire career. As a senior, Watson was, for the most part, injury free as he went 42-0 and captured the 165-pound NCAA Division II championship. Then something went a bit wonky. Watson's arm doubled in size and started changing color. A trip to the doctor would come back negative, but then came a second and the diagnosis that Watson had a life-threatening blood clot. This wasn't just something that could be taken care of with some blood thinners, Watson needed a rare surgery to rid himself of the eight-inch clot in his shoulder. On Episode 160 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Chris Watson opens up about how he won an NCAA championship with a massive clot. He also breaks down an intriguing decision to opt for Division II Central Oklahoma after he initially decided he wasn't going to wrestle in college.
