Wrestlers Resting But Worst To Come |
||
| The Spartan wrestling team will enjoy an early rest until Jan. 6 after a hectic early season schedule. The next contest for the undefeated Spartans will be their toughest of the season Jan. 6 when they host the always strong Fresno State club. The Bulldogs finished second in the Northern California Invitational, while Hugh Mumby's Spartans were third. Last weekend Gary Lorenz led a five-man SJS contingent to the Mare Island Invitational. Lorenz, a transfer from Foothill College, finished third of 39 wrestlers in the 154-pound class. Lorenz lost to the eventual winner 3-2. Dan Swenson (137) and L.Q. Starling (114.5) gained fourths for the Spartans while Joe Silva and Phil Chan also participated. Swenson lost in the semifinals by one point after wrestling six overtime periods. Silva won two matches before injuring his shoulder and being held from further competition. After wrestling in a pair of dual matches and tournaments, the Spartans have displayed strength in some divisions, but will have to improve in others to battle with some of the stronger teams later in their schedule. Rich Hamm, Swenson, Lorenz, Gary Ramstetter, Mike Herschfelt, Paul Hatling, and Rich Popejoy have yet to be defeated in dual action. "We will have to put forth a good team effort in just about every remaining match to win," predicted Mumby. "We will especially have to perform well against Fresno State and Oregon State at home and Stanford will also be nip and tuck." |
