Congratulations to Camden High School students Thomas Ross, Jackson Wolford, and Josh Stevens on achieving “Half Ton Club” status during the 2024-25 school year!
The “Half Ton Club” is a recognition program that acknowledges students for hard work and commitment to their goals in the weight room. To become a member, a student must complete three lifts meeting or exceeding 1,000 pounds. The three lifts consist of the squat, deadlift, and bench press.
Ross completed his milestone in October, and Stevens and Wolford completed theirs on the same day in May!
Students interested in joining this club should see Mr. Klepadlo at Camden High School for more info.
Best of luck to our Blue Devil Track and Field athletes that have earned the opportunity to participate in the Section III State Qualifier meets today and Thursday!
Last week, the Modified Girls Track Team celebrated the end of their season at Coneheads North! This was their “banquet” to recognize the hard work that the athletes have put in since the end of March. The girls had ice cream, played some lawn games, and they also enjoyed talking about the great season they've had!
At Thursday's Section III Class A Championship Meet, two Blue Devils took top honors! Congratulations to Brenden Chennells (800 meters), and Ellie Hite (pentathlon) on securing event championships on their home track!
Brenden ran a 1:59.88 to win and put himself less than a second away from the school record.
Ellie endured the grind of a five-event evening (100m Hurdles, High Jump, Shot Put, Long Jump, 800m) to capture the pentathlon championship. She was a top two performer among the field in all five events. A very special mention goes to Anna Gilsenan, who was a close second in the pentathlon at 2,027 points, and won two out of the five events in it.
Let's Roll! Camden and New Hartford for the Section III Class A Softball title!
5 PM first pitch at Carrier Park in Syracuse. If you're going, an earlier arrival time is advisable as the parking lots fill up quickly.

Let's do it again, Blue!
It's tough to run a track meet efficiently without a great group of officials to help keep the events moving forward. Luckily for us, we had a great group of student volunteers to help us yesterday! They not only kept our events operating smoothly, but also gave our younger students a glimpse into the leadership skills they'll need to succeed in high school.
One day, two locations, two playoff games for varsity baseball and softball!
