Colin "Scotty" Finlayson (Honorary Inductee)
"Scotty" Finlayson was an outstanding athlete in basketball, football and track during his high school days. Unfortunately, his athletic career seemed to come to an abrupt halt when he lost a leg due to an accident his senior year.
As a Northwestern undergraduate, despite his disability, Finlayson could not resist athletic competition. Undaunted, he joined the Wildcat water polo team, a sport completely new to him. His grit, determination and athletic ability proved instrumental to the team's success. During Finlayson's career as a water polo player, he helped lead the Wildcats to two Big Ten Championships and a second-place finish. He was a true leader and an inspiration to both his teammates and classmates.
