IOWA CITY, Iowa - Former Oklahoma State standout Coleman Scott won the 60 kg freestyle division at the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team Trials on Saturday night.

&

But Scott is not assured a trip to London for this summer's Olympic games.&

Despite downing Logan Stieber of Monroeville, Ohio twice in a best-of-three championship series in Saturday's finals at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, the 2008 NCAA 133-pound champ for the Cowboys must do more.&

The U.S. hasn't qualified for a spot in London in the 60kg weight class yet.&

In fact, the top-two ranked U.S. wrestlers in the class, Reece Humphrey and Shawn Bunch, did not wrestle at the trials because they will try to qualify the United States for the class at the World Olympic Qualifying Tournament in China from April 27-29.&

Scott will enter a tournament with both wrestlers at a later date should they qualify the class.&

While Scott awaits an opportunity to earn an Olympic berth, former Nebraska wrestler Jordan Burroughs is headed to London as the face of American wrestling.&

Still, the reigning world freestyle champion would have much rather earned the spot on the mat than by default.&

Burroughs headlined the list of wrestlers who claimed spots Saturday night on the U.S. team headed to the London Olympics, winning the 74-kilogram freestyle spot when opponent Andrew Howe defaulted because of a knee injury at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Iowa City.&

Burroughs is considered by many to be the best chance the U.S. has for an Olympic gold medal.&

"It was kind of anti-climactic. You know, it (stinks). I didn't want it to end this way. I'm happy to be on the team, my main goal was to be on this team coming into this tournament, and I did that," Burroughs said.&

World bronze medalist Jake Varner, 37-year-old Greco-Roman heavyweight Dremiel Byers, Justin Lester, Spenser Mango and Chas Betts also earned Olympic bids.&

Women's wrestlers Stephany Lee and Kelsey Campbell upset top seeds to earn spots on the U.S. team.&

Burroughs got all he could handle from Howe in their only match, winning 4-2, 1-2, 1-0. Burroughs said he wanted to win by dominating the second match of the best-of-three championship series, but national freestyle coach Zeke Jones pulled him aside to break the good news - though it didn't feel that way at first to Burroughs.&

USA wrestling officials weren't immediately able to say which knee Howe injured.
