SJSU Wrestling Archives The Spartan Daily 1-28-76                   SJSU Wrestlers Win Over Hayward 45-3             by Wayne Mize           There is no place like home. SJSU wrestlers, weary after playing seven matches in five days, returned to the friendly confines of the Spartan Gym Monday night and responded by defeating CSU Hayward 45-3. The win was highlighted by four match falls. Peter Araujo, Randy Fleury, Joe Halbleib, and Duane Harris showed the depth of the Spartan team by pinning their opponents much to the delight of the sparse but boisterous crowd. Hayward State forfeited the initial match at 118 pounds and it was downhill for the Pioneers after that. The SJSU grapplers jumped to a 30-0 lead before Hayward State was able to break the goose egg. The Pioneers won the 167 pound match with John Gurich outpointing Jim Rey 7-2. Spartan Peter Araujo (142) pinned Rich Thomono at 6:18. Randy Fleury (158) showed his domination by pinning Charles Anderson with 4:41 remaining in their match. Joe Halbleib (177) came from behind to win by a fall over Mike Marletto at 3:29 and Duane Harris had little trouble pinning Rod Gaines at 6:08 in the 190 pound class. Rudy Guevara (126) outpointed Dyane Dennis 25-3. Guevara, though unable to pin his opponent, was in complete command throughout the nine minute match. Mike Applegate (134) rallied to defeat stubborn Doug Baker 4-2. Applegate's physical stamina enabled him to outpoint his exhausted opponent in the last two minutes. In the 150 pound division Dave Herman defeated Larry Cohn 4-1. In the heavyweight class Brian Allen started slow but was able to outpoint Thomas Shaw 5-4. SJSU wrestlers returned home after defeating Pacific University 32-10 and losing to Humboldt University 31-7 and Oregon Tech 19-18. The team record now stands at 12-7. Coach T.J. Kerr has instituted a "low key attitude" in trying to ready his team for the CSU Fresno match and the PCAA championships. "They're tired right now," explains Kerr, "but after this week we'll be okay." The Spartans travel to CSU Sacramento today for a match before going to UC Berkeley tomorrow. The wrestlers will participate in the 11th Annual Invitational at San Francisco State University Jan. 30-31.
