Pardon all the construction around here, but this is the latest iteration of Spartanwrestling.com. Browse the different pages to get a sense of what the new site will offer and where things are located. Sections like Multimedia, Photos and Video are still in under construction while In-Depth Yearly Results, which offer dual meet and other statistical records from various seasons, will see content added on a consistent basis throughout the year. We’ve also added a Middle School page that will be continually updated by Mike Montgomery and an alumni page that will eventually offer an alumni directory so that you can get in touch with former teammates, fans and coaches. There is more, but that is the gist of the updates. Enjoy the new content and if you experience any glitches, please let us know!! Thanks.
Sparta Wrestling Club Minutes
Good morning All. Wrestling season is officially here!!! According to Trackwrestling, Sparta had 43 wrestlers complete the weight certification this week. As I played around with the weights, we can fill two complete squads and most of a 3rd. What a great job getting kids out. Now I hope as an organization we can assist the coaches in keeping them all out that need to stay.
Reminder: The 1st dual is scheduled for DEC 3rd at Sparta; Varsity starts at 7:30. JV start time will be dependent on how many matches there are. Additionally, this will be MS Wrestler Recognition Night. The MS wrestlers will be recognized before the Varsity Dual. The Varsity travels to the Reedsburg Dual Tournament on December 5th and the JV will be wrestling at the La Crosse Central Tournament the same day.
The minutes from the last meeting are below, and our next scheduled meeting is NOV 14th, 7:00 pm in the HS Cafeteria.
