A retired Marine from Boise is competing in the Wounded Warriors Trials in California.

Corporal Travis Greene is a former Boise State athlete who lost both his legs in a roadside bombing in Iraq.
   
He's competed and won in the Warrior Games before and now Greene is trying again to bring home gold.
  
Greene is competing for a spot on the All-Marine Warrior Games sitting volleyball team. The team trials are happening right now in California.
  
Three hundred wounded, ill and injured Marines are competing for a spot on the 50-athlete, All-Marine team roster.
  
If Greene makes the team, he will go on to compete in the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, April 30 through May 6.
