A dual meet tonight and the Mumby Invitational tomorrow mark a busy weekend of wrestling at SJSU, as the Spartans
make their home debut.
The Spartans will try to end a four-meet losing streak against the Humboldt State Lumberjacks tonight at 7:30 in
Spartan Gym, then will go right back to work tomorrow at 10 am, hosting such schools such as the University of
California, Stanford, and Cal Poly-SLO in the Hugh Mumby Invitational.
Last year the Spartans beat Humboldt State in a match that ended a long 17-meet winning streak for the Lumberjacks
and a six-meet losing streak for the Spartans. Wrestling coach is hoping that history will repeat itself.
"Humboldt is going to be really tough," he said. "Their wrestling program is well supported and
they recruit good wrestlers, telling guys to get away from the city and come to Humboldt for some hunting and fishing."
The Mumby tourney will be an all day affair, with some of the West's top wrestlers participating. Kerr said the
best matches will be between 4-7 pm.
Prices for both the dual meet and the Mumby Invitational will be $1.50 for adults and 50 cents for students. |
