Dickinson State’s Shane Bennett has returned to wrestling 18 months after an accident nearly claimed his life
Shane Bennett doesn’t believe he’s where he needs to be on the wrestling mat.
He’s not competing at full strength and he’s nowhere near the conditioning level he was at when he took second place at the NAIA national tournament as a redshirt freshman.
Still, the 21-year-old Dickinson State University fourth-year sophomore takes comfort knowing there was a time — not that long ago — when those close to him didn’t know if he would live to see the next day.
