Matmen Take 6th Place In Mumby Invitational
|
| |
| SJSU's young defending PCAA champion wrestling team found rough going over the weekend, but still managed to take
sixth place out of a field of 12 universities competing in the 20th Annual Mumby Invitational held Saturday at
Spartan Gym. |
| |
| Though the Spartan matmen were not able to take any first or second place finishes, the efforts of one senior and
two sophomores enabled them to garner three third place spots. |
| |
| Those points came from senior Rudy Guevara (126), and sophomores David Brouhard (167) and Brian Allen (hwt). |
| |
| "Basically i was satisfied with our performance, but i was especially pleased with the way our younger wrestlers
performed," head coach Terry Kerr said. |
| |
| The Spartans also had some fourth place finishers in Steve Mills and Mike Snipes, but points were only awarded
to the top three finishers. |
| |
| Kerr contended that this method of scoring was unusual for a tournament of this size, and he said that he would
work for a change in this method by the time next year's tourney comes along. |
| |
| Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo was the tournament champion with 26 total points, followed by UC Berkeley with 24 points
and Bakersfield with 22 points. |
| |
| Chico State University took the fourth slot with seven points, followed by UC Davis with five and SJSU with three. |
| |
| The scoring system was based on first place finishers receiving five points while those finishing second received
three, and third placers one point. |
