This winter, Snider earned the distinction of Most Outstanding Wrestler, most pins in a season in Branford history (41) and most wins at New Englands for Branford.

To add to these accolates, Snider became the only wrestler to ever be a 2x New England qualifier, as well as earned the most wins in a single season (47).

Snider has been named a captain for both the football and wrestling teams at Branford next season.
