Saturday, July 21

The 8th Annual OLP SkateJam was another fun-filled event at the skatepark. The weather was hot, but drinks provided by Vitamin Water and Coca-Cola kept the contestants and onlookers cooled off. All of the competitors did great, but only the top three winners in each age-group received prizes courtesy of Onondaga Lake Park, Stab and Grab Productions and Vitamin Water. The winners of the 15 and under age group are Javaris Williams (center) in first place, Brandon Hall (left) in second place and Noah Meyers (right) in third place. The winners of the 16 and up age group are Sean Horan (center) in first place, Jordan McGriff (left) in second place and Gabe Mekker (right) in third place.
