A Kentucky teen defied the odds to complete the Chicago Marathon less than a year after a devastating spinal injury left him briefly paralyzed from the neck down. Wyatt Anderson, 17, crossed the finish line of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Sunday in a time of 3:56:28 — just months after he feared he might never walk again, ABC News reported. Last November, the high school senior was shooting hoops with friends when he tripped over his own feet going for a rebound and slammed headfirst into a wall, he said.
