This weekend, the OM/WG Wrestling program hosted its 2nd annual summer camp, giving 55 local wrestlers a chance to sharpen their skills. Athletes from OM/WG, Ithaca, Penfield, and South Seneca trained hard over three days of intense sessions and fun competition.
Special thanks to our incredible clinicians:
Josh Antoine (Ithaca HS)
Brandon Gould (Watkins Glen alum)

From takedown matches to beach wrestling at Clute Park and a round-robin tourney, it was an unforgettable experience! #WrestleOMWG #SchuylerStrong
Special thanks to all of the coaches, alumni, and volunteers who made this year's camp an overwhelming success.

Being named a "School of Distinction" by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) is no small feat. It reflects not only athletic excellence but also a strong commitment to academics. For every varsity team to have at least 75% of its athletes maintaining a 90% GPA or higher is truly impressive.
Congratulations to our Lake Hawk and Storm Teams!
