Not a ton of action compared to past years against regional opponents.  Let’s look a little bit more and see what wrestlers come into the tournament ranked by Wisconsin Wrestling Online…

  • Adams-Friendship  –  Trenton McManus (120-HM), Cole Clark (138-7th), Rylan Burrows (182-HM)
  • Mauston  –  Chris Ruf (113-5th), Jarret Dolata (120-HM), Teagen Miller (138-HM), John Maki (145-4th)
  • Sparta  –  Christian Lamon (120-5th), John Roddick (126-3rd), Jaden Winchel (132-1st), Brett VonRuden (138-HM), Brock Polhamus (145-2nd), Hayden Krein (152-5th)

Sparta leads all teams with six ranked wrestlers followed by Mauston with four, Adams-Friendship with three, West Salem/Bangor with two and Viroqua, Westfield Area and Wisconsin Dells with one.  Sparta has three wrestlers ranked higher than any other team’s highest ranked wrestler.  Jaden Winchel (1st), Brock Polhamus (2nd) and John Roddick (3rd) all come in before the next highest ranked wrestler in Mauston’s John Maki (4th).

The toughest weight class appears to be 145 pounds with three ranked wrestlers while the 152 and 220 pound weight classes each have a pair of ranked individuals.

The Spartans will look to return to the state team tournament for the first time since the 2011-12 season.  The last two years, Sparta has fallen 6.5 points short in each regional for a chance to compete at team sectionals.  Good luck Spartans!
