John Sterner, Mike Sterner and Jim Perkins wrestling

Classic footage of SDSU wrestlers John Sterner, Mike Sterner and Jim Perkins. John starts around :03 seconds and runs to about :52. Mike (wearing headgear) runs until about 9:46 and the black and white footage is Jim Perkins. I believe Mike and John are wrestling Mankato and Jim is wrestling St. Cloud.

Thanks so much for this footage of my pops (John Sterner). It's so fun to see him in his glory days.

Thank you for this footage of my dad (John Sterner). I am so happy to be able to see him in action during his glory days. :)

Not sure of the exact year. From looking at NCAA brackets, early 60s. John Sterner wrestled at 157/167, Mike at 177, and Jim Perkins at 137 for South Dakota State. All competed at the NCAAs (back before there were divisions based on school size)

As an amateur wrestling fan it was great to see this action from the past. I could tell it was old because the wrestlers are not wearing shirts, but does anyone know the year this film was taken? Thanks.
