LIL PHUNK BOYZ' K-Brooks Loses An Appendix, Gains A Medal

Those that have been here in Vegas for the last week have witnessed not only the incredible activity of the World Hip Hop Dance Championship--but that of the USA Hip Hop Dance Championship (which took place July 27-29) as well.

One of the incredible stories to emerge from the action-packed week is that of junior crew LIL PHUNK BOYZ member K-Brooks (aka Kyle Joseph Brooks), who helped his team earn the silver medal in the USA Juniors Devision competition, before falling ill to appendicitis and being rushed to the hospital for surgery.

Post-surgery, K-Brooks didn't fly home to Boston or hole up in his hotel room. Instead, he's been a fixture on the Championship floor, here in full force (with a bandaged tummy, to boot) to support his crew.

AND if he's up it, he may even dance in tonight's finals. We can barely believe the notion ourselves! But don't take our word for it... take his:
