Kyle Snyder Clinches First Big Ten Championship with 7-4 Decision over Michigan's Adam Coon

You're not supposed to win a World Championship before you capture your first Big Ten Championship, but you're not Kyle Snyder, either.

The Ohio State sophomore captured his first Big Ten championship Sunday, topping the top seed, Michigan's Adam Coon, 7-4, in the heavyweight final. Snyder controlled the match, securing a takedown in each period.

Coon became the only wrestler to survive three periods with Snyder as the Buckeye won his other matches in the Big Ten tournament via technical fall. Snyder dropped No. 7 Brooks Black of Illinois, 26-11, in the quarterfinals and No. 6 Collin Jensen of Nebraska, 24-9, in the semifinals.
