Daily News | Jordan Burroughs aims this week to be alone on top of American wrestling pantheon
Penn’s wrestling locker room has just the right amount of musty odor to confirm that some hard work is accomplished close by. Around the corner in the wrestling room, it’s not just Quakers toiling. Jordan Burroughs, pride of Sicklerville, Olympic wrestling hero, works out of this place.
Right now, Burroughs is tied with a couple of other legends, John Smith and Adeline Gray, with six gold medals. For him, the six have been achieved with the 2012 Olympic gold and five world titles. “Jordan is in a great place spiritually, mentally, and physically,’’ texted former Penn star and 2000 Olympic gold medalist Brandon Slay, the head coach of PRTC who is with Burroughs in Belgrade. “He understands there is a big opportunity in front of him, yet he is staying focused on the small things like nutrition, good rest, keeping his feet moving, stinging opponents with his hands, and attacking to score points.
“I would say daily,” Zapf said of how often current Quakers are working out with Burroughs. “I wrestle with him a little bit. He’s a little bit bigger than me, so it’s hard to go 100 percent for each of us. But it’s really good to see the way he moves, and his hands and feet. It’s something I’ve never felt before.”Here’s an expert family witness on Temple QB E.J. Warner
