Jon Snodgrass ruled the tennis court his four years at Wauwatosa East High School. Not only was Snodgrass a four time varsity letter winner in the sport, he also qualified to compete at the WIAA State Tennis Tournament all four years.
His freshman year, he was chosen to fill a spot of an injured #1 doubles partner just before the tournament series. Snodgrass and his partner still ended up qualifying for the state tournament and won their first round match. In his sophomore year, he qualified with a different partner and finished fourth at state in 1998. The following season, his junior year, he and his new partner went undefeated in the regular season, and won both the Greater Metro Conference doubles championship and became the WIAA State Champions, winning the #1 doubles at the State Tournament. The two accomplishments in his sophomore and junior years at the state tournament earned him All-State both years. In his senior year, he qualified for the state meet, this time as the #1 singles player. While playing for the Red Raiders, Snodgrass was also awarded Team MVP and was named Team Captain.
Snodgrass didn’t stop with his talents on the tennis court, he was also a three-time varsity letter winner on the basketball team. As a strong role player of the team, he was on the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 teams that won the Greater Metro Conference Championship. Those two teams also won the Regional Championship and advanced to the sectional finals both years.
