Among his many accolades, Snyder became the youngest American to win a wrestling world title last year when he was 19.
Now 20, Snyder is off to Rio for his Olympics debut.
Snyder's road to the Olympics was paved through his passion for wrestling. The Woodbine native is arguably the greatest wrestler in Maryland history. He was 179-0 while wrestling for Our Lady of Good Counsel in high school.
He was also undefeated in three of the toughest high school wrestling tournaments in the country, winning the Best of the East three times, the Walsh Ironman twice and the Powerade Wrestling Tournament once. Snyder is also a two-time NCAA champion at Ohio State, as he was a part of a team title in 2015 before winning an individual heavyweight crown in 2016.
