Burroughs Burst On The Scene In 2011

After winning his second NCAA title, Jordan Burroughs made his first senior level World team and made most of his opportunity. He knocked off Sadegh Goudarzi of Iran in the finals for title #1. This was also the year that Adeline Gray won her first senior level bronze medal (while she was still Junior eligible, by the way).

The 2012 Olympics brought familiar opponents for Burroughs. He had Goudarzi again, this time with wrestling's most prestigious prize on the line.

Adeline Gray earned her first World title this year at the non-Olympic World Championships over Dorothy Yates of Canada. It was clear that she, like Burroughs, was just getting started.

After JB's loss at the Rio Olympics, nobody knew if he'd return to the mat. He returned and did so in impressive fashion.

Also helping in that effort were J'den Cox who brought home bronze, and James Green who punched through in the semis to win a silver.
