Wed. Pa. wrestling roundup: Snider reaches 100 wins

Cary Snider has a famous surname as the grandson of Flyers owner Ed Snider, but he made a name for himself in the Friends' Central wrestling record books Wednesday, grabbing his 100th and 101st career bout wins.

The host Phoenix split a pair of Friends Schools League matches, falling to Westtown, 48-11, before beating Abington Friends, 66-15.

With the win over Friends' Central, unbeaten Westtown (11-0 overall, 5-0 league) clinched the top seed in the league team tournament.

Snider accounted for four of the 11 team points against Westtown with a major decision over Ethan Tenkel, 9-0, in that match for career win No. 100. No. 101 was a first-period pin (1 minute, 29 seconds) against Abington Friends' Connor Gray. Snider improved to 20-3 this season.

Westtown's Alex Becker ran his record to 22-1 with a decision in the 119-pound bout and now has 101 career wins.

The Quakers had six pins in the match and Nick Sawyer needed only 20 seconds to deck Andrew Vickery for his 21st win of the season at 130. Teammate Zephyr Fin (152) posted a decision for his 21st win, as well.

Inter-Ac. Episcopal Academy is just one team bout away from finishing with an unbeaten season, after registering a 54-16 win over visiting Penn Charter.
