| Six SJS wrestlers made it to the championship round and one grappler took a third as the Spartans finished second
behind Fresno State in the PCAA wrestling finals hosted by San Diego State Saturday. |
| |
| Heavyweight Don Jackson was the only member of the squad to take a first. He will advance to the NCAA championships
to be held on the University of Maryland campus in College Park, Maryland, on March 9-11. |
| |
| Jackson decisioned SDS's Tony Pullman 6-4. |
| |
| "The rush for the top spot should be between San Diego State, Fresno State, and us," said SJS coach Terry
Kerr before the finals got underway. |
| |
| Fresno State finished on top with 93 points, SJS scored 64, and SDS garnered 58. |
| |
| Of the other five to make it to their respective championship rounds, Dan Cabral (118) was the only grappler outside
of Jackson to come close to winning. |
| |
| He battled Ron Johnson of SDS through one overtime period to a 2-2 tie. It was by an observing referee's decision
that Johnson won the match. The observing official sits in the stands. |
| |
| Steve Baca (126) was decisioned by defending champion Vic Gonzales of Fresno State 4-2, and Tim Kerr (158) also
succumbed to a defending champion from Fresno, Corky Napier, 5-3. |
| |
| Dean Prescott (167) was defeated by UC Santa Barbara's John Feely 9-1 and Charlie Kyles (190) was pinned by Fresno's
John Berg in the first period. |
| |
| SJS's Pete Murchison claimed third place as his opponent from SDS failed to show up for the consolation match. |
