  Wrestlers Invade Chico For Western Invitational

 
     
 

After finishing sixth in their first tournament of the year, the SJS wrestling team will travel to Chico tomorrow for the Western Invitational Tournament. Matches begin at 10 am. 
 
Fifteen teams have entered in the tourney with Cal Poly-SLO, winner of the SJS Invitational last Saturday, once again the top rated entry. The Mustangs, three-time NCAA College Division champions, took five firsts and two seconds in last week's tourney. 
 
Other entrants include UC Berkeley, Chico State, Humboldt State, San Francisco State, Central Washington State, Fresno State, Boise State, Cal Poly-Pomona, Cal State-LA, Sacramento State, Sonoma State, University of Southern Oregon, and UC Davis. 
 
SJS entries in the tourney will be Harold Yee (118), Rudy Rodrigues (126), Dick Hamm (134), Jim Lucas (142), Terry Kerr (150), Ron Wright (158), Tim Kerr (167), either Rich Amaro or Charlie Kyles at 177, and Don Jackson (hwt). Bob Garcia, who usually wrestles at 191, was injured last Saturday and won't compete. 
 
Placing for the Spartans last week were Tim Kerr, second at 167; Rodrigues, third at 126; and Hamm, fourth at 134. SJS accumulated 22 points, well below the winning total of 94.
