Busy Schedule For Wrestlers
|
| |
| Although the majority of the student body will get two weeks off between semesters, the SJSU wrestling team will
not, according to coach Terry Kerr. |
| |
| The Spartan Grapplers will compete in four dual meets and two tournaments, along with double session workouts. |
| |
| The Spartans travel to Hayward State University for a match Jan. 18 at 5:30 pm. Dan Kida who redshirted last season
will start as well as Steve Baca who has recovered from a side injury. |
| |
| The following evening, SJSU meets Southern Oregon at 6 pm in Chico. |
| |
| Spartan heavyweight Donnell Jackson, sporting an 18-1 season record, will face off with the SO heavyweight, the
only man to defeat him. |
| |
| Jackson is the No. 1 rated heavyweight in California as named by Wrestling News. |
| |
| Bill Cline who is recovering from a shoulder injury should also be ready for the meet. Cline garnered third place
in the Spartan Invitational. |
| |
| Jackson and the team will challenge Oregon Tech Jan. 20 in Chico, using second and third team grapplers. Hopefully,
by this time, Tim Kerr will be in full strength after recovering from the flu. |
| |
| Cal State Fullerton will challenge the Spartans in the SJSU wrestling room Jan.25 at 6 pm and UC Santa Barbara
at 8 pm. |
| |
| "I scheduled all these matches to give everyone a chance to wrestle and to work on our mental attitude,"
said Kerr. "We still have a long way to go to be in good shape." |
| |
| Kerr said the team to beat this season was Fresno State who has five returning champions. |
| |
| The Spartans then travel to the San Francisco Invitational for a final workout before the PCAA meets in February. |
| |
| "The Invitational will indicate who is in the running for the championship this year. If we can take first
place in three events, i'm sure we can take the PCAA championships," Kerr said. |
| |
| The young coach is having his squad go through double workouts after finals. |
