Best Wrestlers To Compete
|
| |
| After two poor team performances, the SJS wrestlers will send only their "best" to the Phoenix Open Freestyle
Tournament set for this Saturday at 10 am in Phoenix, Arizona. |
| |
| Spartan coach Hugh Mumby was undecided about who to take to the tourney, but he did say that only the best would
be going. He just has to decide who the best are. |
| |
| Last week, the Spartans made a poor showing in the Western Invitational Tournament in Chico, finishing a low seventh.
The only bright spot in the event was Tim Kerr's championship in the 167 pound class. He was the only Spartan to
finish in the top four of any division. |
| |
| This tourney followed a sixth place in the SJS Invitational in which three SJS wrestlers placed. Again, Kerr was
the top placer, this time taking a second in the 167 class. Also placing were Rudy Rodrigues third in 126, and
Dick Hamm, fourth in the 134 pound division. |
| |
| Following the Phoenix tourney, the entire SJS team will most likely compete in the Chabot Open Freestyle Tournament
scheduled for Dec. 29 in Hayward. |
| |
| Likely starters for the Spartans in this one would be: Harold Yee (118), Rodrigues (126), Hamm (134), Jim Lucas
(142), Terry Kerr (150), Ron Wright (158), Tim Kerr (167), Rich Amaro (177), and Don Jackson or Bob Garcia at heavyweight. |
| |
| The Chabot tourney will be the last for the SJS team members in the first semester. They will resume action on
Jan. 30 when they travel to San Francisco for the SFS Invitational. |
| |
| The next home tourney won't come until the Martin Olavarri Memorial Open Tournament is held Feb.20 in the Spartan
Gym. |
