 Wrestlers Rip Fresno In Final Dual Meet

 
SJSU's wrestling team tuned up for the PCAA finals Friday by walloping Fresno State 39-7 in dual meet action. 
 
The Spartans, who won the PCAA title five of the past six years (they were second last season) finished the dual meet with a 17-6 record. 
 
"We were working very hard," said assistant coach Rudy Guevara. "Hopefully everyone is together physically and mentally for the PCAA." 
 
The finals are Friday at Fresno State. 
 
Guevara said the Spartans will be having challenge matches this week to determine the starting team for the finals. 
 
"We're pretty set at most weights," Guevara said. "The challenge matches will probably be at 118, 126, 134, and 142 pounds." 
 
The PCAA finals are also a "good indicator" of who will be selected to compete in the NCAA meet according to Guevara.
 
The Spartan's main hope in the NCAAs is Robert McDowell, who is rated second in the nation at 150 pounds.
 
McDowell is 40-1 on the season, losing only to Bruce Kinseth of Iowa by a score of 7-6. Kinseth, obviously, is ranked number one in the country. 
 
SJSU's Duane Harris (190) is 29-3 this year and is ranked second on the West Coast.
