Grapplers Prepare For Bulldog Test 

 
The SJSU wrestling team will travel south for its next two meets, as the Spartans will take on Fresno State on Friday Feb. 16, and Los Angeles State Saturday Feb. 17. 
 
"The Bulldogs are co-favored, along with us, to win the PCAA title," said coach Terry Kerr. 
 
During semester break, the SJSU matmen competed in a meet at the Naval Training Center in San Diego last weekend. The Spartans placed third as a team, while Donnell Jackson, the no. 1 ranked heavyweight in the state, placed second in the meet. Dean Prescott finished third in the 163 pound bracket, and Jim Lucas placed fourth in the 136 pound bracket. 
 
On Tuesday Jan. 30, SJSU was defeated by a tough Stanford squad, 24-17. Oscar Trevino (134), Tim Kerr (167), Pete Murchinson (177), and Jackson were all standouts for the Spartans.
 
The previous weekend, Dan Kida (118) placed second, and Jackson placed first in the heavyweight bracket in the San Francisco State University Invitational meet.
 
The Titans of Fullerton State handed SJSU a 27-15 defeat, while UC Santa Barbara was a loser to the Spartan wrestlers 42-12 on Jan. 25.
 
On Jan. 19 and 20, the Spartans were 1-2 in a meet with Oregon Tech, Southern Oregon, and Chico State. They were downed 31-12 by Chico and 30-9 by Southern Oregon. Their lone victory was a 28-24 squeaker over Oregon Tech.
