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.
