14 NCHS Student-Athletes Sign Letters of Intent To Play Sports in College

By Michael Dinan | November 12, 2025

Fourteen New Canaan High School seniors on Wednesday signed commitment letters to play sports in Divisions I and II in college starting next year. 

NCHS Athletic Director Jay Egan said during the school’s annual ceremony for the student-athletes that it’s “one of the happiest days and one of the nicest events that we have all year.”

Thanking the All Sports Booster Club and specifically its vice presidents of special events, Nancy Roeder and Meredith Sullivan, Egan told a crowd of student-athletes, friends, families and coaches gathered in the Wagner Room at NCHS that the ceremony marks “the end of the high school [athletic] career.”

“It’s the achievement of something that maybe families have thought about and dreamed about for a long time,” he said. “You think, how did you get here? You get here when you have really dedicated athletes, you have a combination of resources and great coaches and you have the parental support which is really key. So this is a day to celebrate all the time and effort that was put in for all of those years, for all of those trips to Maryland, for all of those trips to Long Island and everywhere that people went. And all of those Mother’s Days and Father’s Days and Memorial Days and Labor Days that you spent on some field or in some gym somewhere.
