 SJS Hosts Annual Mat Invitational

 
SJS will host the 15th Annual Invitational Wrestling Tournament Saturday, featuring schools throughout California. 
 
SJS coach Terry Kerr's grapplers will vie with 11 other schools in the all-day event scheduled to start at 11 am. 
 
"I will be looking forward to seeing SJS wrestlers prove themselves at this tournament," first-year coach Kerr commented. 
 
Each school will be limited to two men in each weight category.
 
According to Kerr, Cal Poly-SLO has been strong in the past, but he warned that Chico, San Francisco, Humboldt State, and California have formidable squads. 
 
The Spartans will field a full team, except for a couple of positions. 
 
At 118 pounds, Mark Rodriguez and Jeff Ulrich are slated to go. In the 126 class, Steve Baca and Greg Betts will represent SJS. 
 
Oscar Trevino and Jeff Norcup are in the 134 category and Jim Lucas and Mike Cancilla are in 142. 
 
At 150 is Gary Pederson and Mike Walker, while Ray Jimenez is the lone competitor at 158 pounds. 
 
Another single weight representative is Tim Kerr at 167, as Dean Prescott and Pete Murchison go in at 177. 
 
Brad Anderson goes in alone at 190.
 
Two injured Spartans, Dan Cabral and Hank Tillman will not be able to participate. 
 
The schools in the tournament are Chico State, UC Davis, California, Sonoma State, Hayward State, Cal Poly-SLO, Fresno State, San Francisco State, Humboldt State, Long Beach State, Stanford, and SJS.
