Grapplers Grab 2nd In Hayward Tournament
|
| |
| The Spartan grapplers shed their early season losing ways by grabbing a second place victory in the 10-team Cal
State-Hayward Invitational last Saturday. |
| |
| SJSU gained a measure of revenge beating UC Berkeley and Cal State-Bakersfield, teams that had trounced the Spartans
in earlier meetings. San Francisco State took the first spot from the Spartans by a scant two and one-half points. |
| |
| Returning All-American Danny Kida (126) and returning All-California Heavyweight Donnell Jackson grabbed individual
firsts in competition. |
| |
| Jackson, rated number three in the state, out fought the number one and number two rated heavyweights, both 300-plus
pounders for his victory. "it will be interesting to see how he is rated now," said coach Terry Kerr. |
| |
| The team's second place was a fine effort since the squad was without a wrestler for the 150-pound class. |
| |
| Individual second place finishes by Mitch Steinhauer (118) and Steve Dick (134) contributed to the effort. A third
place victory by Dean Prescott (167) and a fourth by Jim Niskanen (158) closed out the Spartan victories. |
| |
| Last Friday night the matmen added Chico to the loser's list, beating the Wildcats 39-9 before a spirited crowd
in the Men's Gym. Oscar Trevino upset Chico's undefeated Don Eckley in the 134-pound match to pace the Spartan
win. It was the fifth consecutive dual meet victory for the charged-up Spartans. |
| |
| The wrestlers have seven dual meets this week including Stanford, University of Hawaii, and five dual meets at
Oregon Technical Institute. |
