Wrestling: Burroughs and Green Beat Russians On Way to Medals in Turkey

Two former Huskers that have been mainstays on the Team USA roster for years looked impressive on Sunday when they competed at the Yasar Dogu Ranking Series Tournament in Istanbul, Turkey.

Both Jordan Burroughs and James Green made it to the finals today with Burroughs winning gold and Green falling just short, taking home a silver medal at an extremely tough tournament. However, on the way to the finals, both Burroughs and Green took out ranked Russian wrestlers.

And at a time like this, I think we can all agree...there’s nothing better than seeing the Russians getting beaten up.
