====================

As you can see, Tomah is tough at the lighter weights and weaker at the heavier weights with the exception of heavyweight.  The loss of Justin Pollack to New Lisbon helps Sparta as he was a state placewinner and carries a 29-1 record as of last weekend. 

Depending on how the dual is progressing, it is likely that some of these wrestlers will jump between weight classes.  The same can be said for Sparta. 

The dual goes down at 730 pm Tuesday in Tomah.  The JV takes the mat at 615pm.  There will be video and photos of this dual posted to Spartanwrestling.com later this week.  Good luck Spartans!
