Tough loss. Last wrestling match for Burroughs?

Time for him to move onto MMA?

All of them have been. Snyder still attends college at Ohio State. Was HWT champ this past season. Cox attended Mizzou and was a two time champ. Burroughs won two titles I believe at Nebraska.

Yoshida goes down to American.

Interesting tid bit. One of her coaches, Kevin Black I graduated high school with and he was a 4x Wisconsin state champion and went 160-0. Attended University of Wisconsin. He has been by her side as a coach and mentor since 2004. So that's pretty cool.

Watched Burroughs a lot at MN when they'd come here.

That's cool. Wish I would've had the foresight to get season tix when Cael was hired. Every meet is sold out before the season even starts now.

Exactly.

Gophers sell good ticket sales too. Some of the duels need to be at Williams Arena.
Wrestling fans are very educated and fun to be around big matches.

Funny incident:

* Molinaro (USA) was bitten by opponent during match. Stupid ref didn't even DQ the guy.
