Will be there Saturday. Can't wait! From article:
Roberts, a native of Davenport, Iowa, won the 1957 NCAA championship at 147 pounds. He became the sixth wrestler in school history to win a national title, and the first African-American national champion in NCAA wrestling history when he defeated Iowa State's Ron Gray, 2-2, 2-0, in overtime.
Roberts compiled a 62-8-4 record at Iowa from 1956-58. He placed third at the Big Ten tournament in 1956 and finished runner-up the following year. He eventually won the conference title at 147 pounds in 1958.
