Cameron Stinson Jr. became the first wrestler in North Carolina history to win 200 matches without a single loss.
The state tournament begins Thursday night, and Stinson can close out his historic career with a fourth straight championship.
“When I step on the mat, it clears my head of all worries problems I have,” he said.
