| Although the first annual Martin Olavarri Invitational did not draw many wrestlers to the Spartan Gym, SJS coach
Hugh Mumby was able to use the meet as a warmup for the PCAA finals this weekend. |
| |
| The Olavarri meet, held in the gym Saturday, was able to feature on a few of the wrestlers in this area. "We
had hoped this tournament might be a big affair. Unfortunately, most of the schools we contacted already had other
meets they were in," commented Mumby. |
| |
| Wrestlers from SJS, Cal Western, West Valley, Chabot, and SJSC participated in the meet. |
| |
| The Spartans were able to grab first place in six of the eight weight classes. Only a few men entered in each class. |
| |
| In the 118-pound class, Spartan Dan Cabral defeated Wilson Nacario of Chabot for the title. Rudy Rodriguez of SJS
outlasted his opponents in the 126-pound division. |
| |
| Dick Hamm was able to top his teammates Oscar Trevino and Joe Escobar for the 134-pound class crown. Dan Cunningham
of West Valley captured the 142-pound class. |
| |
| After a slight hassle at the scorers' table after the match, Terry Kerr of SJS was named the winner in the 150-pound
division over Jerry Ruggiero of SJSC and Mike Frazier of Cal Western. Frazier was the only grappler in the meet
from the San Diego area school. |
| |
| Ray Jimenez defeated SJS teammates Jesus Lopez and Gene Stanley for the win in the 158-pound class. Lopez had earlier
pinned two opponents. |
| |
| In the final class, 190 pounds, Ron Taylor of West Valley topped Rich Amaro of SJS for the title. There was no
heavyweight class. |
