Public voting for the 83rd AAU James E. Sullivan Award began Tuesday, where fans can select their choice for an athlete to move on in the selection process for this prestigious award. The wrestling community is proud to support semi-finalist and Olympic and World gold medalist Jordan Burroughs.

The award is presented by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) to an outstanding amateur athlete each year. Past wrestlers who have won the AAU James E.

Competing against Burroughs are semi-finalists Darren Barnes (weightlifting); David Boudia (diving); Liz Brenner (volleyball, basketball, softball and track and field); Isaiah Canaan (basketball); Elena Delle Donne (basketball); Gabrielle Douglas (gymnastics); Missy Franklin (swimming); Brittney Griner (basketball); Steve Johnson (tennis); Barrett Jones (football); Claressa Shields (boxing); Maggie Steffens (water polo); Breanna Stewart (basketball) and Mike Zunino (baseball).
