Man dominates women’s college All-Star rugby tournament

A male athlete was named to an All-Tournament Team at a women’s rugby event and then was erased from tournament records.

Gregory Wilt, who goes by “Camille,” played in the 2025 Collegiate Rugby All-Stars Tournament in Atlanta for the Upstate NY All Stars. Wilt was named to the regional team due to his presumed outstanding play with Syracuse University.

Upstate NY didn’t play very well, however, going 1-3 in pool play before defeating the Great Waters All-Stars in a consolation match to finish seventh in the 10-team tournament.

Wilt didn’t score in the first game but went on to score twice in each of the last four games. That was plenty to get him named to the All-Tournament Team. The graphic that included the name of the All-Tournament Team members appeared to have been wiped from the rugby organization’s social media pages; however, the image still exists on its homepage and here.

That wasn’t the only place that National Collegiate Rugby saw fit to remove Wilt from. Not only was the athlete removed from a list of searchable players that participated in the tournament, he was also removed from the Upstate NY roster.

Despite playing as No. 13 for Upstate NY, as reflected in video and scoresheets, Wilt is nowhere to be found on the team’s list of players.

The searchable database of tournament participants indeed lists Wilt’s teammates but not Wilt.

Despite the deletion of records, the Independent Council on Women’s Sports spotted the previous posts and remarked on X that the Upstate NY team “denied a female athlete the opportunity to make the All-Star selection squad.”

‘Women … were forced to compete at an unfair disadvantage.’

In the 19-12 loss against Rugby Northeast, No. 13 Wilt still scored twice; one of those scores was caught on camera. The video showed Wilt clumsily running laterally across the field but was still fast enough to easily outrun all the women chasing him.

Despite showcasing a real lack of athleticism for his size, Wilt still possessed an obvious speed advantage over his opponents.

“Women from universities across the country were forced to compete at an unfair disadvantage and face increased safety risks during the tournament in Atlanta, GA,” ICONs wrote on Instagram.

Despite no real roster list existing on the University of Syracuse women’s rugby team site, where Wilt plays, there is a page on the collegiate rugby website for Wilt under Syracuse. There is no data on the page, however, besides a name.

On the Syracuse women’s website, Wilt is seen on the homepage in the upper left corner of a team photo.

While scoresheets for Syracuse’s 2024-2025 season do not appear on the website either, the team certainly dominated competition throughout the year, likely due to Wilt’s play given he was named to the regional All-Star Team.

According to Syracuse’s schedule, the not-so women’s team scored a whopping 341 points in six games, giving up just 36. That’s an average score of 57-6.

However, they were more dominant than that. The team only gave up more than seven points once, skewing their average, but that was still a 55-17 win at Buffalo. Syracuse also beat Binghamton University 55-0 and Cornell an amazing 99-7.
