The Westhampton Beach Hurricane wrestling team arrived at Kutztown University on 7-18-2016 for their annual team TNT Summer wrestling camp. The Canes have been attending the same camp for around 30 years because of the quality of the instruction and competition found there. The team brought over 25 wrestlers to camp this year and divided the High School wrestlers into two teams this year in order to get a maximum number of matches. Both teams finished .500 or better in their dual meets at camp against some very good competition. Each wrestler had a one on one meeting with the coaching staff after camp in order to discus their experience and to identify 3-5 things to focus on to improve their wrestling skills. Only 17 weeks until the start of the 2016-17 season!

The Westhampton Beach Hurricane wrestling team hosted a well attended home wrestling camp on July 5th-8th. Sessions were held each evening at the Westhampton Beach High School gym from 6:00pm - 8:30pm. Wrestlers of all ages came out to get some excellent instruction and LOTS of mat time and some SUPERB coaching and life lessons about wrestling. The camp kicked off the first night with Coach Jo Favia, the youngest wrestling head coach in the NCAA's and Head Coach at the Stevens Institute of Technology. The Duck's finished 8th in the NCAA D3 2016 Tournament. Coach Favia was voted Conference and Eastern Regional Coach of the year this season. The camp concluded with current volunteer Coach Ronan Seltenreich, a 2011 Westhampton Beach graduate, sharing the life lessons he learned from wrestling and how they helped him prepare and cope during 2 combat tours in Afghanistan while he was in the Army. Those same lessons helped Coach Seltenreich become a Suffolk County Police Officer after recently completing the Police Academy training. |
