Wrestling: Jordan Burroughs wins 5th Pan Am Championship

Over the weekend, former Husker and six-time Olympic and World gold medalist Jordan Burroughs continued his Pan American dominance.

Burroughs traveled with a stacked Team USA squad to Acapulco, Mexico and came away with a perfect 4-0 record and his fifth Pan American Championships gold medal. In addition to those medals, Burroughs also has three Pan American Games gold medals (kind of like the Pan American Olympics, taking place every four years).

Against Pan American competition, Burroughs is undefeated. Not only has he never lost in a Pan American competition, but he’s never lost to a wrestler from a Pan American nation at any competition.
