| Capturing eight medals out of nine entries, the SJSU wrestlers took fifth place in the 5th Annual Doc Peterson
Invitational at Chico State College Saturday. |
| |
| Heavyweight Donnel Jackson led the Spartans with a second place showing in the twelve team tourney. |
| |
| Dean Prescott, wrestling in his first tournament took a third at 177 pounds. Jim Lucas (142), Dan Kida (126), and
Rudy Guevara (118) place third. |
| |
| The matmen totaled three fifth place finishes with Mike Cunningham (158), George Jaegar (150), and Oscar Trevino
(135) garnering the honors. |
| |
| Coach Terry Kerr is rapidly filling holes in the lineup which have hurt the team's performance. Football punter
Jeff Cunnigham will fill the 190-pound spot while Dean Prescott has already been successful in the previously vacant
177 class. |
| |
| The lack of wrestlers took its toll in the Dec. 6 match against San Francisco State University in Spartan Gym. |
| |
| The Spartans had to forfeit 12 team points because of the shortage, helping the Gators to a 31-19 win. SJSU won
four, tied one, and lost two in actual competition. |
| |
| Strong light and middleweights paced the Spartans, including a pin by freshman Guevara and decisions by Kida, Lucas,
and Jaegar. |
| |
| California State University at Sacramento is the next challenge for SJSU. The match will be held at Sacramento,
Tuesday Dec. 18 at 7:30 pm. |
