Kyle Snyder (born November 20, 1995) is an American amateur wrestler, who amassed a 179-0 record in his first three years of high school.[1][2] before becoming the youngest American in over 20 years to win a FILA Junior World championship in August 2013.[3][4] Snyder was coached by two former World Champions during his gold medal match: Bill Zadick of the Iowa Hawkeyes, who was a college teammate of Jeff McGinness, the youngest ever American FILA Junior World Champion who won the tournament in 1992,[5] as well as Zeke Jones.
Career
In the early minutes of his gold medal match, Snyder was thrown to his back by his Armenian opponent, Viktor Kazishvili, and was nearly pinned.[4] After fighting off his back and down 4-1, Snyder then ran off 10 unanswered points to secure the victory by technical fall in four minutes and four seconds, his third in his four matches at the tournament.[4][4][6] During his 179-0 run during his first three years of high school, Snyder only gave up a single takedown.[1] He will spend his senior year of high school as a resident athlete at the United States Olympic Training Center,[7] where he will compete for the United States of America. Snyder, who stopped playing football for his nationally-ranked high school team following his sophomore season,[8] is a two-time Washington Post All-Met Wrestler of the Year,[9] and was named the male 2013 ASICS Wrestler of the Year[10] as well as Intermat's 2013 Wrestler of the Year.[11]
Undefeated in what are considered the top 3 toughest high school wrestling tournaments in America,[12] Snyder won the Walsh Jesuit Ironman twice, Beast of the East three-times, and Powerade once.[9] After he spends his senior year of high school at the United States Olympic Training Center, Snyder has verbally committed to wrestle for the Ohio State University.[6]
Family life
Snyder is the son of Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder. Snyder's older brother Stephen wrestles for the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he competes as a heavyweight.[13]
