Nine NCHS Student-Athletes Sign Letters of Intent To Play Sports in College
|
Nine New Canaan High School seniors on Monday signed early Letters of Intent to play sports in college starting next year. The photos below are from socially distanced signing ceremonies overseen by NCHS Athletic Director Jay Egan, held throughout the morning and early afternoon at Waveny House.
“When I attend these ceremonies I am always struck by how emotional this moment in time is for our athletes and their families,” Egan said. “In many instances these college commitments represent the culmination of many years of sacrifice and dedication. It is very gratifying to watch our athletes realize their lifelong dreams.”
We asked the student-athletes why they chose their future schools, and put their responses next to photos where provided.
