Performance of the Week: Reed City's Wyatt Spalo
January 31, 2025
Wyatt Spalo ♦ Reed City
Senior ♦ Wrestling
Spalo, 36-4 this season, avenged two of his losses on the way to repeating as champion in the 285-pound weight class at the Northern Michigan Championships after entering the tournament seeded third in his bracket. Spalo edged Sault Ste. Marie’s Sawyer Kuenzer in the semifinal 2-1 to avenge a loss, then avenged another with a 7-6 decision over Gaylord’s Caden Sides in the championship match.
It’s been a highlight-filled season for Spalo, who finished Division 3 Finals runner-up at his weight last winter. He reached 150 career wins and is up to 162, and has 28 pins this season and has surpassed 100 wins by fall for his career. Spalo also was a standout two-way lineman on Reed City’s District-champion football team. After graduation, he’s considering attending trade school for welding.
