Maxamillian has represented the United States in many competitions around the world, including in Japan, Budapest,[4] South Korea,[5] and South Africa.

As a freshman in 2009, Maxamillian placed second at the Illinois High School Association Wrestling Individual State Finals in the Class 3A 135 lbs. category, notably pinning then-senior Ellis Coleman of OPRF in the quarter finals.[6] In 2010, Max became the state champion 145 lbs.[6] and in 2012, he won his second state championship title at 152 lbs.[6] Maxamillian is the first Chicago Public High School League wrestler to be a two-time state champion since 1953,[7] and Lane Tech's first State wrestling champion in 64 years.[8]

In his high school wrestling career, Maxamillian garnered 111 falls.

College Career[9]

Max attended the California Polytechnic State University from 2012-2013. He was redshirted his first year with the Mustangs. During his first official season as a Mustang, Schneider began with an 8–0 record and took first place at the Road Runner Open[10] Nov. 17, 2013. Differences with the coaching staff at Cal Poly have since led Max to transfer schools and look for more opportunities with wrestling. He is still undecided as to where he will attend but has been focusing on Judo and training since returning to Chicago.
