This weekend was certainly a successful one for the Ohio State wrestling program as Logan Stieber and Kyle Snyder each earned a spot on the 2017 US World Team thanks to their efforts at the Senior World Team Trials. Both Stieber and Snyder were given a bye to the championship finals thanks to each winning a world medal in the past year.
Stieber was the first Buckeye to stake his claim to a seat at the table by defeating Challenge Tournament champion Kendric Maple 9-8 and 10-0 in their best-of-three series in the Championship Finals. Stieber scored a last-second takedown to win the first match, but left no doubt in the second match with a 10-0 victory to earn the World Team spot at 60 kg.
