Dylan Foster
Sycamore, junior
A run at the 145-pound title came up just short for Dylan Foster (24-12). But the Sycamore junior headlined a large contingent of wrestlers that helped lead the Spartans to a second-place finish at the Northern Illinois Big 12 East Tournament on Saturday.

“With the exception of an injury default, everyone placed,” Sycamore coach Alex Nelson said. “If you want to beat teams in a tournament you’ve got to have more than four or five champions. Everyone has to work their way through wrestle backs. It’s a total team effort.”
