DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The plaintiff, a senior at the defendant's high school, was injured while voluntarily participating in an extracurricular wrestling practice. We agree with the Supreme Court that the plaintiff voluntarily assumed the risk of his injuries (see generally, Morgan v. State of New York, 90 N.Y.2d 471; Benitez v. New York City Bd. of Educ., 73 N.Y.2d 650).
