Camden High School -

Senior student-athletes Jacob Lago and Olivia Hooker had the opportunity to represent Camden High School at one of Section III’s most prominent and prestigious events on Monday, June 9th. The duo were recognized as part of the 2025 Section III Scholar-Athlete Award Dinner held at Onondaga Community College.

Held each year, the Section III Scholar-Athlete Award Dinner celebrates selected high school seniors from all 106 member schools who have distinguished themselves from their peers through exemplary athletic and academic achievement. To be eligible, a student-athlete must hold at least a 90 percent cumulative grade point average while participating in a varsity sports program. Each school can nominate two student-athletes who meet the requirements.

Lago competed in cross country, spring track and field, and alpine skiing this year. He will depart CHS as the Class of 2025’s seventh-ranked graduate. He recently finished up a manufacturing/engineering internship at International Wire, and plans to enter the United States Navy’s Nuclear Propulsion Program.

Hooker competed in soccer, volleyball, and spring track and field in her senior year. She will graduate sixth in her class, and plans to attend Penn State University to study Physical Therapy/Kinesiology.

All Section III Scholar Athlete Dinner honorees receive a scholarship check and a commemorative plaque. There are also additional awards from the sponsors, and Olivia was fortunate enough to receive an additional award from Section III’s ticketing partner, Hometown Ticketing!
