SJSU Hosts 22nd Mumby |
||
| SJSU hosts the 22nd annual Mumby Wrestling Invitational tomorrow in Spartan Gym. The event, named in honor of former Spartan coach Hugh Mumby, is dubbed by current SJSU coach T.J. Kerr as "the toughest early season tournament in California." Continuous action on five mats begins at 10 am. This year's edition features 13 teams, including the host Spartans and defending champion CSU Bakersfield. Bakersfield is the nation's No. 1 Division II team, according to the Amateur Wrestling News ratings. Other top ranked teams in the tourney are Cal Poly-SLO (No. 8 in Division I), CSU Chico (No. 17 in Division II), UC Davis (No. 19) in Division II), and Humboldt State University (No. 3 in Division III). UC Berkeley, which finished second in last year's Mumby, Stanford, Biola, CSU Stanislaus, CSU Sacramento, SCU Hayward, and San Francisco State University round out the field. Each team is limited to entering two performers in each weight class. An Olympic-style "bad mark" system will be used to eliminate wrestlers and the finals three in each division will compete in a round robin wrestle-off to determine the winners. Spartan senior Robert McDowell hopes to defend his 150-pound title. Teammates Thor Jensen (190) and Guy Heath (hwt) placed in last year's tourney and will try to improve their showings. Other SJSU entrants are: 118: Marty Lockwood, Wayne Jones 126: Eddie Baza, Matt Crawford 134: Lee Mills, David Perez 142: Brian Strock, Doug Stewart 150: John Peregrina 158: Mike Snipes, Reggie Thompson 167: Mike Bowron, Dave Gustafson 177: Jim Rey, Ken Klein 190: Duane Harris |
