The Sparta Wrestling program is just a couple hundred dollars away from reaching its fundraising goal for a new mat. This would not have been possible without the numerous donors and alumni who helped by either giving money or letting friends and alumni know. Sparta Wrestling would like to thank the following individuals for their help in getting the program a brand new mat:
Wilma Tucker
Rick Brohmer
Pat Stevenson
Steve & Deanna Rickert
Gary Nowaczyk
Richard Johnson
Mendon & Theresa Burns-Gilbert
John & Marge Kress
Curt & Eddie Hanson
William Lasko
Doug Brown
Scott Zurfluh
Shea Ealey
Mike Haas
Michele Swofford
Joe & Renee Dolan
Michael Tucker
Justin Nichols
Robert Schmitz
Randy Giraud
Donna Friedman
Stacy Campbell
Thank-you for all your help and in case we missed anyone, we do thank-you as well.
It gives me a good feeling to see Mike Tucker and Doug Browns name along side mine. The last time I saw that was in 1967 on a wrestling program. You guys were not only teammates back then but also two of my best friends. One would have never guessed that a wrestling mat would once again unite us !! RIGHT ?
Pat Stevenson
It was nice to see names like Richard Johnson and Bill Lasko from the 70’s. I would have liked to seen more from 70’s era participating in this worthwhile cause.
It may be beneficial for the Sparta Alumni Association to have a list with addresses of past athletes/wrestlers. It would give us old timers an opportunity to contact many of our wrestling peers and say hello while happily soliciting funds from them!
