Wrestling without a full team, the Spartans finished in 8th place with 295 points at the 25-team Battle on the Bay in Bayport, Wisc. Leading the way were champions Jon Bailey and Hayden Krein. Brett Von Ruden finished 2nd while David Hayes was 4th to round out the Spartans who finished in the top 10.
Hayden Krein was absolutely dominant Saturday with three first period pins in his first three matches including two in under a minute. His semifinal match was another victory by pin in 3:19 while the championship match was a 9-0 major decision victory. At 126 pounds, Jon Bailey avenged a second-place finish last year by defeating Ashwaubenon’s Fernando Coronado in the championship. Bailey was up four points before the match was ended due to blood time.
At 152 pounds, Brett Von Ruden lost a close 3-2 match in the finals to Rhinelander’s Jacob DeMeyer who is currently ranked 4th in division one at 160 pounds.
It was a strong finish in a loaded tournament for the Spartans despite wrestling without anyone at 106 and 113 and without a couple guys who are still recovering from injury or waiting until they can drop down due to new weight rules.
It has not been an easy three weeks of competition for the Spartans. In the first three weeks of the season, Sparta has crossed paths with 10 of the top 16 teams from the 2017 WIAA Team State Tournament and that number will reach 16 by the end of the year. The Spartans could travel to easier tournaments, but it’s this difficult competition that will get the Spartans ready for the important matches in February.

- Jon Bailey’s victory over Fernando Coronado who is currently ranked 7th at 132 in D1
