From cancer to championships: The comeback story of Mead's Trey Tatham

Ten years ago, 9NEWS introduced our audience to a 5-year-old boy fighting cancer. Trey Tatham has since grown up and competed in the wrestling state championships.

LONGMONT, Colo. — Mead High School freshman Trey Tatham recently accomplished a lifelong dream of competing at the Colorado state wrestling championships.

And his victory a decade earlier makes it that much sweeter.

As a 5-year-old, Trey was diagnosed with cancer. He went through 43 grueling rounds of chemotherapy as well as radiation treatment, but still was sure to play and continue being a kid. And ten years later he stepped up on the mat at our state's greatest tournament.

Watch Trey's original story from 2013 in the video below, as well as the follow-up at the top of this story!
