I mean, the guy climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. Who else could top that for an ESPY?
Congrats Kyle! Can't imagine what's next.Kyle Maynard -- the Collins Hill graduate and congenital quadruple amputee -- has won another ESPY, an award given out annually by ESPN for sports excellence.#Maynard, who won the same award in 2004, won in the "best male athlete with a disability" category on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.#The award came after his crawling up Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro in January with a team of wounded veterans, friends and professional climbers.#Maynard tweeted shortly after winning the award on his @kylemaynard Twitter account.#"WE JUST WON THE ESPY!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! You helped make it happen!!!"His summit at Kilimanjaro's 19,341-foot peak was the first by anyone crawling up the mountain, and likely the first period by a quadruple amputee.

Bought the book "No Excuses" when the boys were struggling some in HS sports. Helped them through a tough season.
