Former Huskers Jordan Burroughs, James Green will represent Team USA at world championships
LINCOLN — Former Husker All-Americans Jordan Burroughs and James Green won their weight classes Saturday night and will again represent Team USA at the world championships in Kazakhstan in September. Burroughs, an Olympic gold medalist and four-time world champion, turned back former Illinois All-American Isaiah Martinez to win the 74-kg (163-pound) freestyle division at the “Final X: Lincoln” event at the Devaney Center. In a best-of-three format, Burroughs won the first match 5-4, thanks to a takedown with eight seconds left, before Martinez rallied to win the second match 6-5. In the third, Burroughs used a pair of takedowns to race to a 6-0 lead. He went on to win 7-1 to make his ninth straight world team.
