Is your student looking for a spring sport? How about golf or tennis? The Camden CSD Athletic Department is looking for interested athletes for both sports for the Spring 2024 season. Grades 7-12 are eligible. Please note a Middle School athlete must pass the APP test for varsity tennis competition. High Schoolers can see Mr. Mazzaferro with questions. Middle School students should see Mr. Klatt for more information on how to get started. Once that's squared away, you can register with FamilyID/Arbiter here! https://students.arbitersports.com/organizations/camden-central-schools-athletics
Congratulations to Dillan Melchiore '22 on becoming a National Champion!
Melchiore, representing the University of the Cumberlands, won the 2024 NAIA Indoor National Championship in the 3,000 Meter Racewalk with a time of 12:56.8. The racewalk is an incredibly challenging discipline that is as much a physical test as it is a mental test. Melchiore has also competed at the championship in the 4x800 relay.
Longtime Camden teammate Lizzy Lucason '22 has also been competing at the championship and has an 18th place finish in the one mile run, and her 4x800 relay team put down the tenth fastest time of the prelims.
Way to go!
Congratulations to Billy Bernabe on his performance at the New York State Alpine Skiing Championships earlier this week! Billy tackled the giant slalom course at the world-renowned Whiteface Mountain Ski Center in Lake Placid with a terrific 10th place finish out of 66 competitors!
Way to go!

Congratulations to Camden eighth grader Talon Kimball on placing seventh at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Championships in Albany! After falling in his championship bracket match, the eighth grader fought his way to the placement matches through the consolation bracket with two wins: One by pinfall, and another by decision. He won the 7th place match with a Major Decision victory.
Did we mention he's only in eighth grade?!?
Congratulations, and here's to a very bright future!
Pictures from Friday's Section III Quarterfinal at Chittenango. Not the result we had hoped for in a 58-53 loss, but certainly an effort to be proud of as the boys battled all the way down to the wire. The Blue Devils wrap up a terrific season at a 16-5 overall record.
Remember.... spring sports registration is in progress! If your student is interested in signing up, please do so soon!

Update: Kolton and Talon wrestled in tight matches, but unfortunately, both lost by decision in their first championship bracket bouts at states.
However, there's still plenty to earn and compete for in the consolation bracket, with podium places 3 through 7 on offer. Kolton is seeking a second straight state podium, while Talon is hunting for his first.
This is how the road ahead looks now. Keep after it, gentlemen!
