Kyle Snyder completed his sophomore season with a national championship in the heavyweight division. The No. 2 seed upset No. 1 seed Nick Gwiazdowski of North Carolina State, handing the favorite his first loss of the season (33-1) in sudden victory.
The win gives Ohio State two individual national championships in 2016, as true freshman Myles Martin won the 174-pound weight class earlier tonight.
Gwiazdowski, a two-time defending champion, was riding an 88-match winning streak — the nation’s longest. That didn’t deter the youngest American to ever win a world championship, which Snyder became over the summer.
