FIRST IN CCAA
This year's wrestling team virtually "tore apart" every opponent
it met in league play and other meets. In the newly
organized CCAA league for wrestling, the Aztecs took all of
the dual meets and grappled out 92 points in the CCAA tournament
to bring home the first place trophy. The squad
won hard-fought victories over schools such as the University
of Arizona, 17-11, San Jose State, 15-9, and Fresno State,
17-9. Other commendable achievements performed by the
Aztec wrestlers were a seventh place in the Pacific Coast
Invitational Meet with 29 points, and a fourth place in the
Naval Training Center Invitational. The best team effort was
shown in beating los Angeles State, 36-0.
The men heading the list in points accumulated through
the season were John Davies with 70 points, Merrell Davis
with 68, Dick Winn with 51, Dennis Payne with 50, and
logans, Bennett, Thompson and Oliverson, with 49, 47, 41,
and 39 points respectively.
John Davies received the Dierdorff Brothers Award for the
Most Valuable Wrestler in the 1961-62 season. Co-captains
were Dennis Payne and Pat Bennett.
"The team should continue strong," is Harry Broadbent's
outlook for next year's squad. With only two grapplers finishing
their eligibility, Willie Green and Dick Winn, San Diego
State should see some fine wrestling in the 1962-63 season.
