| After crushing San Francisco State Wednesday night 24-12 and taking third at last weekend's Mumby Invitational,
the Spartan wrestling team will travel to the Chico State Invitational Tournament tomorrow. |
| |
| Coach Terry Kerr's grapplers, 3-0 in dual meet competition this season, are " where i expect to be at this
time," he said. |
| |
| "I want to win the PCAA again, and send five guys to the NCAAs." |
| |
| Kerr's crew demonstrated against SFSU that it is capable of winning in the face of adversity. When no referee showed
for the meet, the Gator's assistant coach officiated. |
| |
| "He was kind of biased in the first eight matches," Kerr laughed. "I accused him of seeing purple,
because their colors are purple and gold. One of the fans told him he was missing a good match. One of our wrestlers
said SFSU had an 11-man team" (Ten wrestlers compete.) |
| |
| Kerr cited 150-pounder Bob McDowell and 167-pounder Kevin Hejnal as Spartan mainstays this season. McDowell, a
senior, is undefeated this season and junior Hejnal, 9-1 for the season, recorded his first loss against the Gators. |
| |
| SJSU's lineup for the Chico tourney, which begins at 10 am, is still undecided. Two or three weight classes will
be contested in intra-team challenge matches to determine the Spartan's representative in each. |
