Utah Boy Wins at a Sport He Doesn't Like

[Champ]

SALT LAKE CITY - A 9-year-old Utah boy won a national championship in a sport he doesn't even like, and only did it after missing a bus to the finals.

Dumsira Nwibiabu, a fourth-grader, won his age division Saturday at the NFL's Punt, Pass and Kick competition at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field.

Dumsira and his father, Vincent, missed the bus that transported the participants to the competition. They found their way to the event and showed up minutes before it started, giving Dumsira just a couple of warm-up throws and kicks.

Dumsira then defeated three other finalists in his 8 and 9 age group.

"He was excited, but maybe not as excited as some other kids would be," said Dumsira's coach, Matt Child. "It's still football, and he doesn't care for it too much."
