Stevensville freshman Devin McLane faces off with Dillon's Noah Huffaker during the Stevensville Mixer recently in a 103-pound matchup. Devin has a condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) that almost entirely limits the use of his arms.

"It’s a rare condition," McLane said of AMC, which affects about 1 in 3,000 people in the U.S., according to the National Institutes of Health. "I don’t have any, really, muscles in my shoulders so I don’t use my arms."

Devin cracks an egg as he cooks dinner after coming home from wrestling practice last week. "...If you can do it with your hands, I can do it with my feet," he said, while balancing on the ledge of his kitchen counter top near the stove. "I use mine to eat, to write, to draw, to cook."

Stevensville wrestling head coach Ted Adams looks on as Devin and wrestling partner Ty Thompson tumble on the mats during practice recently. "We keep telling these guys that wrestling is about 30 percent physical and you gotta go out there with the mentality that you’re willing to give it everything you got," Adams said. "That’s huge and I think (Devin) does that."

Devin weighs in for his first varsity meet in Corvallis last weekend. His AMC causes multiple joint contractures which can create missing or stiff muscles. Devin, though, is most proud of the muscle he has. "My legs are super strong, I’d say, and my abs," Devin said. "I mean, I have to do crunches every time I want to take my sock off."

Coach Adams helps Devin tape his laces before a wrestling meet. He could get surgery, Devin's mom Michelle said, one would help fix the stressful situation on his legs. But the procedure would ruin his ability to use his feet like he does now — essentially as a pair of hands.

Devin and his mom, Michelle, hug after McLane's first match of the meet at the Stevensville mixer. "I’ve always told him from Day 1, I’m not going to be doing that up until you're 30. You gotta fight, you gotta find your way," Michelle said.
