| The SJSU wrestling team ran into some stiff competition last weekend at the Biola Invitational Tournament. |
| |
| At the meet, state universities such as SJSU and Fullerton State matched up with big-name schools such as Arizona
State, BYU, and Stanford. |
| |
| Cal State Bakersfield, number one in Division II wrestling, was the winner of the tournament, with Arizona second
and Fresno State third. |
| |
| Not only did SJSU fail to make the top five, but the Spartans top finishers were Dave Love (134) and Ken Brison
(143) placed fifth in their respective weight divisions. |
| |
| This tournament is not one that Brison will want to remember, as he lost one of his matches to a lower-ranked opponent. |
| |
| Arnold Khanbabian (118) was the only other Spartan to place, finishing sixth. |
| |
| "You can see improvement with each match," SJSU wrestling coach Danny Kida said. "You know where
everybody else is and get a visual picture of how well everybody is doing." |
| |
| SJSU will be competing in its second consecutive non-conference dual match this weekend when it takes on Stanford.
The Spartans will have their hands full when the competition starts against the Cardinal, which has two nationally-ranked
wrestlers. |
| |
| Dave Lee (167) is ranked 13th and Jeff Bradley (134) is 16th. |
| |
| "I'm very impressed with their wrestling program," Kida said. |
