The Winslow native was attempting to make his 11th world team.
Jordan Burroughs, a New Jersey state champion from Winslow High School who won the gold medal in the 2012 London Olympics beat Ben Askren, an undefeated MMA cagefighter who was a two-time national champion at Missouri by 11-0 technical fall at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater on Monday, May 6 2019. Andrew Mills | NJ Advance Media- Winslow Township product Jordan Burroughs qualified for his 11th World Wrestling Championships on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater.
“I have a lot of bumps, I have a lot of miles on my body,” said Burroughs, 33. “In 2024, I’m going to ride off into the sunset, regardless of performance, regardless if I make the team. I want to wrestle Kyle Dake and Zaurbek Sidakov again. That’s my last year of competition. Burroughs reached his 11th World or Olympic U.S. team Wednesday in a hard-fought 2-1 series win over Chance Marsteller at 79 kg. Since 79 kg isn’t an Olympic weight, Burroughs will have to challenge Dake for the spot at 74 in 2024 - but that’s down the road.
The former Winslow Township state champion was pushed to a third match in 2017 against Dake and Isaiah Martinez in 2019 and won those winner-take-all matches handily.
