Intercollegiate Woodsmen competition requires the same serious conditioning and development of team play essential for any sport. The co-educational woodsmen squad was established at Finger Lakes Community College in 1974. Since 1982, the women’s team has earned 11 championship titles and the men have earned 13, more than any other school in the fifty-two-year history of the sport.
The major two-day championship meet in the spring includes 20 different events that test skills with such tools as axes, saws, heavies, climbing spurs, and canoe paddles. FLCC hosts a small competition each fall and travels to several other competitions in the United States and Canada in the fall and spring of each year.
Try-outs (pending a completed physical exam) are held at the beginning of each semester. All full- and part-time students (six hours minimum) are eligible to participate. Practices occur September through April before classes in the morning and on Tuesday and Friday from 2 - 5 p.m.
