On Wednesday, May 27th, four senior student-athletes put pen to paper on their dreams of competing collegiately in their chosen sport as the Camden Central School District Athletic Department celebrated its 2026 Spring Signing Day in the Camden High School Gymnasium.
Participating students declared their intent to compete in four different sports, representing four different institutions across the NCAA Division III and NJCAA Division III levels at institutions located across Central New York.
“This moment represents much more than just signing a letter or choosing a school,” Director of Athletics Josh Mazzaferro said. “It represents the early mornings, late nights, long practices, bus rides, victories, and countless hours devoted to a sport while balancing the responsibilities of being a student. Our student-athletes have represented Camden with pride, character, and determination, and we could not be more proud of all they have accomplished.”
Izabella Johnson has signed to compete in track and field at SUNY Cortland, where she will work under the tutelage of legendary head coach Steve Patrick and study Sports Management. Johnson recently was the runner-up in the 400 hurdles at the Section III Class B-2 Championship Meet.
Abigail Arnold has declared her intent to participate in tennis at SUNY Delhi, where she will compete for head coach Moise Saintil. Arnold anchored first singles for the Blue Devils in her senior season and ran up an 8-8 overall record.
Myah Ouderkirk will continue to play volleyball at Mohawk Valley Community College for head coach Courtney Piazza. She finished with 31 kills, 2 assists, and three service aces for coach Katherine Migliori this winter, and is a multi-year varsity participant at Camden.
Astro Johnson makes history as the first-ever collegiate signee for Camden’s girls’ wrestling program, and will continue in the sport at Onondaga Community College. The senior qualified for the 2026 New York State Public High School Athletic Association championships in Albany and finished the season with a record of 23-12.
