Wrestling: Kyle Snyder Wins His Second NCAA Title

World Champion. Olympic Gold Medalist. Two-time Big Ten heavyweight champion. Two-time undefeated NCAA champion.

Buckeye redshirt junior Kyle Snyder added another accolade to his resume on Saturday night as he won his second-consecutive NCAA championship with a victory over Wisconsin's behemoth heavyweight Connor Medbery, 6-3, on Saturday night.

Snyder struck first with a takedown early in the match, but Medbery didn't make it easy. Snyder switched to a double leg while Medbery locked around Snyder's waist. The Buckeye earned the takedown by lifting the much larger Medbery.
