In honor of 520 Day, here's a list of notable Tucson-area athletes who made an impact in the sports realm this past year.
Justin Spears Tucson's birthday isn't for another three months, but that shouldn't deter us from celebrating the Old Pueblo and the high-profile athletes the city has produced over the years.
Roman Bravo-Young: Riding a 56-match winning streak, Penn State's All-American was upset by Cornell's Vito Arujau in the 133-pound wrestling national championship — Bravo-Young's first loss since 2020. The five-time All-American concluded his wrestling career at Penn State as a two-time national champion.
Alex Bowman: Driving the 48 car for Hendrick Motorsports, Bowman had four top-five finishes before suffering a fractured vertebra injury at 34 Raceway in Iowa. Dominick Cruz: Following a three-year hiatus from the UFC, the former Flowing Wells wrestler won back-to-back bantamweight bouts after his loss to Henry Cejudo. Last August, Cruz was knocked out by Marlon Vera via a head kick in San Diego.
Jordan Morgan: The three-year starter at left tackle was on track to declare for the NFL Draft until a season-ending knee injury at UCLA returned him to the UA for his final season of eligibility. Morgan was recently rated by Pro Football Focus as the third-best tackle in college football entering the '23 season.
Elijah Rushing: The 6-6, 245-pound edge rusher is the latest Tucson football prospect to have a five-star rating. Widely considered one of the top defensive linemen for 2024, Rushing is being recruited by the hometown Wildcats, Florida, Notre Dame and Miami, among others.
