The Burnaby Mountain Wrestling Club will be sending at least three wrestlers to the Summer Olympic Games in London.

Super heavyweight Arjan Bhullar, Hasilan Garcia and male wrestler of the year Matt Gentry all qualified for London, winning gold medals at the Pan-American Olympic Games qualifying meet in Florida last weekend. Garcia won all three of his matches at 66 kilograms without giving up a point, while Gentry also won three bouts at 74kg, including a match that went to a tiebreaker against Cuba's Yunierki Blanco.

Bhullar defeated a Venezuelen and a Mexican grappler to advance.

John Pineda lost his bronze-medal match and did not qualify.
