Middle School wraps up season…

The 2010 Spartan Middle School Wrestling Team. Click to see a larger version.

The Sparta middle school wrestling team wrapped up their 2010 season on December 18th at Viroqua.  It was a solid season for the Spartans and it looks to be a bright future for the high school program.  Overall as a team, the Spartans won 310 matches and lost 213.  One wrestler (Brock Polhamus) topped the 20-win mark with a 20-3 record while seven more wrestlers cracked the 15-win mark.  Another five wrestlers finished with just one or two losses.

Below are the records at Viroqua followed by each wrestler’s season record.  For example, “Connor Bernett, 1-2, 4-10” meant that Connor Bernett went 1-2 at Viroqua and finished 4-10 on the year.  Simple enough?  Ok, let’s get to it…

Some of these wrestlers will now continue their wrestling through area rec programs such as Sparta Rec or Lacrosse Area Wrestlers (LAW).  There might be a chance to catch some of these guys at the Sparta Youth Tournament on Sunday, January 23rd at Sparta High School.  That is the day after the Spartan Invite.  If you want to check out a lot of action of all levels of Spartan wrestling, that would be a good weekend to find yourself up at the high school.

Congrats to the middle school on a great season and a big thanks to Mike Roddick for supplying this information!
