DeKALB – Behind a dramatic two days, Northern Illinois wrestler Shawn Scott finished in the top 12 at the NCAA National Championships a season ago.
For the 197-pounder, it wasn't good enough.
The senior returns as a captain of the Huskies and is eyeing a chance at getting on the podium with a top eight finish at the NCAA Championships as he closes out his career at Northern Illinois.
"Just want to be on the podium. You do something for 16 years, you have your mind on one goal," Scott said. "For me, to be happy with all the work I put in, to be on the podium will actually give me that enjoyment and a story to tell later in my life.
