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

By |

Six New Canaan High School seniors signed commitment or “likely” letters Wednesday to play Division I sports in college starting next year. 

NCHS Athletic Director Jay Egan said the school’s annual ceremony is a way to mark and celebrate an achievement for the student-athletes as well as their families. “How many hours have you all spent in the car driving your sons and daughters places and holidays being at tournaments?” he told those gathered in the Wagner Room at NCHS for the short ceremony, including the student-athletes, their families, close friends and coaches. 

“This is really a culmination of the athletes’ and the families’ efforts,” he said. “It’s a special day.”

We asked the student-athletes why they chose their future schools, and put their responses next to photos where provided.
