Watch Sicklerville's Jordan Burroughs in Olympics—Live!

There are plenty of Team USA athletes with South Jersey roots to cheer for in the 2012 Summer Olympics.

You've got field hockey players Rachel Dawson, a Berlin native who starred at national power Eastern Regional High School, and Michelle Vittese, a Cherry Hill native.

You've got Tamika Catchings, a former University of Tennessee women's basketball star who was born in Stratford.

There's also rower Steve Kasprzyk, of Cinnaminson, and women's soccer star Carli Lloyd, a Delran native, among others.

In wrestling-crazed Gloucester Township, it's Sicklerville native and Winslow Township High School graduate Jordan Burroughs—the 2006 New Jersey state champion at 135 pounds—who will likely generate the biggest London Games buzz among locals.

That will surely be the case for many Highland Junior Wrestling youngsters, who received some hands-on training from Burroughs last March.

Burroughs, 24, a 2011 world champion and two-time NCAA champion at the University of Nebraska (2009 and 2011), is Team USA's No. 1 freestyle wrestler at 74 kilograms (163 pounds).

NBC's profile of Burroughs says, "(He) will have a chance to become the face of not just his weight class, but also Olympic Wrestling."

Burroughs' first match is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 10, at 8 a.m., when freestyle wrestling's 74-kilogram preliminaries begin.

While you won't find any of Burroughs' matches live on the many NBC-owned TV stations carrying the Olympics, you can watch them as they happen at NBCOlympics.com.
