"A tough match to let slip by us against Western, but we had some big highlights such as first career dual meet wins for Josiah Hurd and Nathan Glass," stated Head Coach Jason Welch. "We also had some great moments as a community, as we came together for the Jensen family Dual Meet. National champion Mauricio Wright gave an amazing speech about Coach Lars Jensen and his legacy. We also honored our first year alumni with framed singlets. It was great to have them back on campus to honor them and their time at SF State."
SF State returns home November 12 to host the Allan Abraham Duals. They start at 6 pm with Skyline College and continue at 7:30 pm with Menlo Live stats will be available on TrackWrestling.com.
