BROKEN TOES It can’t be broken, because I can move it. At one time or another, we all have repeated this phrase after stubbing a toe or banging a foot. But in truth, this myth has kept many fractured toes from receiving proper treatment. While you can still walk with certain kinds of fractures, it is imperative that you pay close attention to your foot. If you feel any pain or see discoloration following the impact, you should seek immediate treatment from a podiatrist. A toe fracture needs prompt attention. If X-rays reveal it to be a simple, undisplaced fracture, care by your podiatrist usually can produce rapid relief. However, X-rays might identify a displaced or angulated break. In such cases, prompt setting of the fracture by your podiatrist will prevent improper or incomplete healing.

Newington Schools Earn NEASC Accreditation by Mark DiPaola Newington Public Schools has garnered New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC) accreditation, making it one of only three districts in the state to have all of its schools recognized under the designation. As Newington prepares to comply with education reform mandates, it is already scoring points in teacher collaboration and professional development, amongst other areas, principals from the elementary and middle schools said during presentations given at last Wednesday night’s Board of Education meeting, April 24. At Elizabeth Green Elementary, teachers are already utilizing a “train the trainer” approach to support and mentor fellow staff members and provide regular feedback, said
Principal Jennifer Michno. “We are committed to developing significant levels of individualized reports--not just because it’s regulation, but because it’s good practice,” Michno said. At Ruth Chaffe Elementary, teachers have formalized meeting times that they utilize for comparing notes, but collaboration often stretches beyond that, according to Principal Rick DeBellis. “I know a lot of the teams get together on informal times, because there’s so much to do,” DeBellis said. “You’ll see teachers coming in early in the morning, and staying late.” Like other schools in the district, Ruth Chaffe strives to keep and consistently monitor data in order to assess student progress and pinpoint where intervention is needed, DeBel-
lis said. Another area that the district is turning heads in is the implementation of technology. At Ruth Chaffe, for example, students complete in-class assignments on iPads while teachers are equipped with smart boards. The building is also WiFi enabled. “That’s definitely going to come into play later on, especially when we have online testing,” DeBellis said. “It would be very difficult to, one at a time, book a computer lab.” Teachers at Ruth Chaffe are putting the web to use by constructing their own personalized sites, DeBellis said. “Great way to communicate with parents,” he said. “They can put their calendars, their homework, projects they’ve done, [and] field trips.”
Affordable Senior Housing May Come to Newington by Mark DiPaola Newington may have the opportunity to build new affordable housing for elderly residents, provided it clears the hurdles of a lengthy approval process that includes assessing need and demand, as well as a public hearing. The first step is to hire a consultant to advise on the establishment of an overlay zone, which would allow the construction of more housing units than zoning regulations would normally stipulate as to create an incentive for contractors that would be able to build a higher volume in exchange for making a percentage affordable for seniors. The consultant’s cost would be covered by a $20,400 technical assistance grant from the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG). A then-approaching April 15 deadline prompted the town to apply for the
grant, after which it will begin the process of seeking approval from the Town Council and Town Planning and Zoning Commission-a move allowed by CRCOG-said Newington Town Planner Craig Minor. Between June 1 and 15, the consultant would conduct a demographic and economic analysis to determine need based on the size of the town’s aging population and financial need. “Affordable” housing designation requires that the cost to live there be no more than 30 percent of the income for a resident earning 80 percent of the town’s median income, Minor said. “The units would be affordable by a person that’s 50 percent of the median,” Minor said. “So we’re really trying to make this affordable.” Twenty percent of the units would likely be affordable, with the remaining 80 percent pegged at market value, according
to Minor. “Whether [the market value units] would be limited to seniors or not, we haven’t gotten to that point,” he said. In order for a section of town to become an overlay zone, the area must be within a walkable distance to stores, medical facilities, and public transportation, among other requirements. It must also have access to Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) water and sewer service. Once a need is determined, the town will have to gauge interest, Minor said. “The second step would be to see if people actually would take advantage of affordable senior housing,” Minor said during last Tuesday night’s Town Council meeting, April 23. This process starts Aug. 1 and runs through Sept. 30, and involves feedback and collaborative discussions with seniors-
-as well as other residents--and developers, Minor said. The last step is a public hearing that is slated for December. “There are at least five other towns, like Ridgefield and Madison, that have built affordable senior housing,” said Councilor Terry Borjeson during the meeting. “So I feel like we have even more of an obligation.” Councilor Maureen Klett voiced concern as to whether long-time Newington residents would have access to the units, since, given the state-wide need for affordable housing, the town might see an influx of people from other municipalities and cities in Connecticut. “That’s the frustration, that we can continue to build affordable housing, but can’t promise that those houses will be available to them,” Klett said.
BOE Outlines Professional Development Schedule Options by Mark DiPaola Professional development, or extra training for teachers, is a core component of the soon-to-be enacted education reform mandates that will sweep through the state of Connecticut next year, and Newington is trying to figure out how to integrate it into the school year. The Newington Board of Education discussed a number of tentative 2014-15 school calendar plans centered around the early dismissal of students on Tuesdays so that teachers have time to meet and receive additional mentoring. Students will be let out at 12 p.m. on professional development days.
The variation in the proposals was in how often the early dismissal would take place. “Option B,” for example, eliminated September, March and April for professional development, as opposed to an “Option A,” which includes every month of the school calendar. An additional route, “Option C,” suggested having the extra training on only the first and third Tuesdays of every month, a proposal that is not likely to get much consideration. “We called out some of the things we didn’t like, which brings us closer to a compromise,” said Board of Education Chairman Marc Finkelstein. Amongst the concerns regard-
ing the proposals was scheduling the professional development days in a way that minimized any confusion for parents, which shed light on problems with Option B. “I think we need to make it on one side, good for the teachers, but on the other side, easy for the parents to know when their kids are going to be out,” said Board Member Jane Ancona Siegel. Board Member David Tatem cited difficulty he has heard that some residents have with keeping up with early dismissal days in the current schedule. “Every early release day, you have some parent who didn’t know,” Tatem said. “I would like some consistency.”
Having the early dismissal too often presents an inconvenience for parents when it comes to having to restructure their own schedules, said Board Cynthia Callahan. “These parents are going to have to find daycare for their kids every single week,” Callahan said. While the board seemed to narrow the proposals down to Option A, although it may consider eliminating September and/or June from the calendar of professional development days, there was worry that it will cut into classroom time. The concern was voiced by Board Nancy Petrino, who said that she would not support Option A without variations that removed
a month. She cited a long negotiation process to raise the amount of instructional time at Newington High School to 1,000 hours. More instruction time is good, but equally, if not more important, is making it count, said Director of Human Capital Development Stephen Foresi, who presented the board with the options thus far. “More instruction time is important, but I think what we need to balance is the quality of the instruction time,” Foresi said. One suggestion targeted September as a month that could potentially be removed because it would be at the onset of the school year and parents and students might need some time to adjust.
Town May Hire Attorney in Toll Brothers Suit Scouts Visit Hartford Armory by Mark DiPaola Newington will likely pursue the hiring of a land use attorney for the Conservation Commission’s legal battle against developer Toll Brothers, who is suing the environmental regulation body for its denial of an application to build housing at the hotly contested Cedar Mountain area of open space. Under the town charter, the mayor and town manager have discretion as to whether an outside attorney in such a matter will be brought in, according to Councilor Terry Borjeson, who confirmed plans to hire a lawyer after the Town Council meeting last Tuesday, April 23. The determination was that being represented by Peter Boorman, the town attorney that was present throughout the Conservation Commission’s lengthy public hearing process, may be a conflict of interest going forward, Borjeson said. Concerned residents that attended the hearings have been urging the Council to bring on a land use attorney, citing Toll Brothers’ deep well of legal resources.
“For Toll Brothers, appeals like these are just a matter of routine business,” said Newington resident Gayle Redrako during the public comments segment of Tuesday’s Council meeting. “The town needs somebody with expertise in a broad range of litigation.” Newington resident Gary Bowles echoed Redrako’s sentiment. “It is extremely critical to have an excellent land use attorney to defend the Conservation Commission’s decision, as Toll Brothers will be using their experts,” Bowles said. Prompted by what it considered a limited statutemandated time frame given to sift through a growing volume of testimony and studies, along with concerns such as the potential environmental and infrastructure danger posed by blasting-a controversial rock removal technique-and the presence of the endangered Swamp Cottonwood tree species, the Conservation Commission rejected a Toll Brothers bid to construct housing units at Cedar Mountain in an eleventh hour decision. Toll Brothers followed up with a lawsuit it filed in late March.
On Saturday, April 20, at The Hartford Armory, Scouts of Newington Boy Scout Troop 347 were invited to initiate Color Guard for the 344th Military Police Company Farewell Ceremony.

vated, but retains the original tin ceiling and pantry. Another home is a late 18th century colonial home on Main Street, originally the home of Capt. Francis Bulkley, his wife Elizabeth and their sons. The off-center colonial features asymmetrical windows and chimney, with later additions of a front porch and back ell.

The oldest home on the tour is the Appleton Robbins House, circa 1720. Built into the side of a hill, the home looks like a classic Colonial style house from the front, but a single story gambrel roof Cape from the back. It features three bake ovens, including one of the earliest types located in the back of the fireplace. The kitchen was redone in 2010, and, while it is a modern space, its style is in keeping with the feel of a Colonial home. The House Tour Committee, chaired by Dorene Ciarcia, has been at work since last fall selecting homes for the tour, researching the history of each home and working with the homeowners on details for tour day.

Rocky Hill & Cromwell? With Westlake
Teacher Evaluation Plan Submitted for State Approval by Katelyn Kelleher The Rocky Hill Board of Education last Thursday, April 25, unanimously approved submitting a hybrid teacher evaluation plan to the state Department of Education to be phased in for the 2013-14 school year. A 16-member committee of teachers and administrators developed a hybrid System Educator Evaluation and Development (SEED) plan of a state Board of Education teacher and administrator evaluation model piloted in 10 districts this year, Assistant Superintendent of Schools Marian Hourigan said. The plan must be submitted to the state no later than May 5. “The goal is to improve teaching and learning and to ensure teacher evaluations are fair, valid, reliable and a useful reflection of an educator’s work,” Hourigan said. Districts had the option to adopt the state SEED model intact, model a hybrid plan or create a new plan, as long as
all the state requirements are adhered to. Districts are allowed to phase in the plan for 2013-14 and full implementation will be required for the 2014-15 school year. Districts will be required to revisit and resubmit the plan each year for state approval. Hourigan said the state pilot plan is under “tremendous revision,” and Rocky Hill’s SEED plan reflects some of those expected changes, including a proposed three administrator observations per teacher per year. The original state pilot plan called for six, which the state is reducing to three. “It’s still a challenge, but it’s more doable and meets the core requirements of the state,” Hourigan said. Rocky Hill’s SEED plan adheres to those core requirements, mandated by the state regardless of which model a district adopts, many of which have always been in place in the district, including professional development days and individual improvement remediation plans for teachers who need help.
A “four-level matrix system” would rate teachers as above the standard, meeting the standard, working toward the standard or performing below the standard. Hourigan said veteran teachers would be expected to rate at level three, meeting the standard, whereas new teachers would be expected to reach level two, working toward the standard. Teachers will be evaluated on practice, based on observations and parent feedback in the form of a school-wide survey, and outcome, based on student achievement on state and standardized tests as well as other assessments. Outcomes and practice ratings will be combined for a summative rating and the state will monitor the number of teachers in the district at each of the four levels. Administrators will be evaluated on student learning and teacher effectiveness. For 2013-14, if approved by the state, a third of the teachers in each school, the most recent hires, will be evaluated using the plan.

CarFit
Many older drivers have difficulty fitting into their own cars well. Whether it is adjusting mirrors in order to see the blind spot, positioning seats to be far enough away from the steering wheel yet with enough room to reach the gas pedal, or getting the seat belt to fit comfortably, there are many adjustments that can be made to find the safest fit. CarFit was developed to meet this need. Trained volunteers will lead drivers through a 12-point checklist with their vehicle, recommend personal vehicle adjustments and adaptations and offer community-specific resources and activities that could make their personal vehicles “fit” better or enhance their safety. An occupational therapist will also be on hand to provide information to older drivers on how to maintain and strengthen driving health. Individual appointments will take approximately 30 minutes. Saturday, May 4, 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. at the Pitkin Community Center, 30 Greenfield St., Wethersfield. Call 860-249-1245 for an appointment. 4/11/13

Business Spotlight Lady Fit A New Approach to Going to the Gym by Katelyn Kelleher Going to the gym doesn’t have to be a chore--it can be fun. At Lady Fit in Newington, women can try new classes every day for any age or level of fitness. Owner Oana Nita opened Lady Fit in the McBride Plaza on the Berlin Turnpike Saturday, April 13. Inspired by popular fitness classes from her home Romania that she
These spring-loaded shoes look a little like rollerblades--but are more like trampolines.
could only find here in places like California and New York, Nita decided to bring them to Connecticut. Nita obtained her personal training and group training certifications and had a trainer from Canada come down to train her and another fitness instructor on different types of fitness classes. Lady Fit offers over 40 classes each week, including yoga, Pilates, piloxing, p90X, beam fit, ab and total body classes and, perhaps the most unique class, Kangoo jumps. Essentially a shoe loaded with springs, Kangoo jumps is a fun class and easier on the joints. Lady Fit also offers bootcamp programs, personal training and weight loss programs--and the classes and programs change up each time, so boredom is never an option. “If you cannot get out of work until five so you want to take our 6:15 classes, every day it’s a different class. It’s not Zumba at 6:15 three times a week,” Nita said. The facility itself is brand new, with a smaller and larger class room. Each is large enough to not feel cramped, but not overwhelming like some of the larger chain gyms in the area. And, like its name suggests, Lady Fit is women only. “I wanted it that way because I used to go to something like that and I was feeling really comfortable,” she said. “It’s a small place and there are no glass doors or walls. You don’t feel comfortable when people are looking at you--it doesn’t matter if you’re fit or not. Here I want it to be more like a community-based gym for ladies to interact and become friends and just hang out for a bit and have coffee.” Lady Fit, 3153 Berlin Tpke., Newington, is offering two free weeks of classes to new members. Lady Fit can be reached at 860-548-6271 or visit www.ladyfitusa.com.
Oana Nita demonstrates the Kangoo Jumps.
The brand new Lady Fit class rooms are the perfect size.

Shainess has expanded his Practice to include Divorce Mediation. This requires that the Husband and Wife commit themselves to reach an agreement through negotiations with a mediator. The parties do much better with this process and also may save Thousands of Dollars, which would be the cost of a fully contested trial. Fees for mediation generally run $2,500, which include multiple sessions with the attorney drafting, the divorce agreement and all other necessary documents. The attorney would also appear on the final court date. The initial half hour consultation is at no charge. In addition to mediations, I also provide representation in consented matters in child custody, alimony and child support. Joseph J.

FIRE is a powerful and destructive force that most of us don’t understand, but think we can survive. Most home fire fatalities are caused by carelessness with cigarettes. If you have smokers in your home, make sure that there are large ashtrays for their use. Home heating is also a major cause of home fires. It is important that you have your heating system inspected annually. To keep the kitchen safe, make sure areas around the stove are kept free of grease buildup. If you have a fire on the stove, put a lid on it. For a home inspection checklist on home fire safety, contact the Rocky Hill Fire Department.

LeFOLL & LeFOLL Attorneys at Law
Purchasing or selling real estate can be a complex process. There are many adjustments which need to be calculated between the buyer and seller. For example, generally the seller needs to be reimbursed for the taxes which have been paid through the current tax periods. A buyer, on the other hand, may need to be credited for necessary repairs to the property. If you are buying or selling property, contact the Law Firm of LeFoll & LeFoll to assure that your interests are well protected.

Rock Cats Highlights The New Britain Rock Cats baseball season has begun. The Twins minor league affiliate has a nice mix of veterans and prospects on its roster which usually means a competitive club in the Eastern League. One of the highly touted prospects is starting pitcher, Alex Meyer. Meyer was acquired by the Twins last winter for former Rock Cats outfielder Denard Span. Meyer has a tremendous fastball that can reach 98 mph and so far has been impressive in his first four starts. In fact, he won back-to-back starts April 18-25 against the Portland Sea Dogs and New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
The Rock Cats have started their second homestand of the season after going 3-4 on their recent road trip, the Northern New England swing through Portland and New Hampshire. New Britain has won two of its last three series (both vs New Hampshire). The Rock Cats opened the road trip with a 17-1 win last Thursday at Portland, however, the Rock Cats were outscored by the Sea Dogs 27-9 in the final three games, all resulting in losses. New Britain will play 3 games with Richmond and then continue the homestand against the Harrisburg Senators (Washington-NL) on Monday night. The 2013 season is the 31st year of professional baseball in the city of New Britain.. The club moved from nearby Bristol in 1983 and has played at the Willowbrook Park complex ever since, Beehive Field (1983-1995) & New Britain Stadium (1996-now). New Britain was a Red Sox affiliate from 1983-1994 and became a Twins affiliate in 1995. The New Britain franchise has produced 4 American League MVP’s, One National League MVP, a NL Rookie of the Year and numerous Major League Gold Glove and All-Stars. Last season, the Rock Cats got off to their best start in franchise history, reaching 10 games above .500 (27-17) on May 22. It was the first time the Rock Cats had done that before the month of June. Other milestones from 2012 include: Reaching a season-high-13 games above .500 (July 20) for the first time since the 2001 season. The Twins’ affiliate also recorded 50 victories before the All-Star break for first time since the 2001 season. The Rock Cats return home Thursday May 9th when they host the Red Sox Double-A Affilliate Portland Sea Dogs at 6:35pm. For tickets or information call (860) 224-8383 or visit www.rockcats.com.

malls offer some method of transportation between tourist sites or transportation hubs. For shoppers looking to avoid the hassles of finding a parking space at malls and shopping centers, shuttle buses may be the answer. To investigate the possibilities of transportation to a mall near you, visit the mall’s information kiosk during your next visit and inquire as to whether a shuttle van or bus is available. Also, contact local bus companies to find out whether there is a free or paid shuttle available. Typically, these will be stationed at park-and-rides or in large parking lots. The bus will pick up and deliver you to the same location. Seniors may be entitled to complementary busing to the mall courtesy of municipal senior busing systems or accessible ride programs.

Families with safety in mind gravitate toward vehicles that earn top safety awards. For those in the market for a new sporty sedan, consider the all-new 2014 Mazda6, which earned a “Top Safety Pick” from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This is the first Mazda to earn this new, more demanding designation, which now includes the IIHS small overlap test. This test replicates what happens when the front corner of a car collides with another vehicle or an object. The Mazda6 scored “Acceptable” on the overlap test as well as “Good” in other areas of testing. In addition, Mazda6 Touring models feature a blind spot monitoring system, or BSM, and rear cross traffic alert as standard equipment.

Whether you’re a recent college grad or a grizzled veteran of big business, interviewing for a job can be a nerve-wracking experience. More than a few people have experienced a sleepless night on the eve of a job interview, underscoring the stress many people associate with interviews. While you may not be able to eliminate stress completely, there are ways to boost your confidence about the interview process. And the more confident you are entering an interview, the less likely you are to be a bundle of nerves before and during the interview. The following tips should help boost your confidence for your next interview and might help you land that dream job.
Preparation Much of the stress that comes with a job interview is the fear of the unknown. That’s why recent college grads are typically more stressed out for a job interview than professionals who have been there, done that in the past. Whereas the veteran pro knows what to expect, the recent grad has no idea. However, proper preparation can help you know what to expect. * Research the company. Extend your knowledge beyond just the job for which you’re interviewing. The more you know about the company, the more informed your answers will seem to the interviewer and the more you can tailor those answers to the company’s goals. * Ask yourself what questions you would ask. Interview questions, particularly for entry level positions, are often predictable. After an interview is scheduled, think of the questions you’re likely to be asked, and then think of thoughtful answers to those questions. While it’s good to think of answers ahead of time, make sure your answers focus on ideas instead of actual answers, as you won’t want your responses to seem rehearsed. * Write down what you bring to the table. Regardless of the position you’re almost certain to be asked how your past experience applies to it. Your response to this question should be a home run, as there must be a reason you mailed in your resume, feeling as if you and the job were a good match. Be prepared to confidently explain why you are the right fit for the job. * Bring your own set of questions. You should be prepared to do some interviewing yourself. Have an extensive list of questions available, and if they are answered during the course of the interview, simply check them off your list. If you don’t have a list of thoughtful questions, it will give the impression you’re indifferent about the position.
Performance While there’s no way of knowing the success rate of the most qualified candidate, it’s certainly not a 100 percent guarantee he or she will get the job. That’s because a job interview isn’t just about your resume, but about you as well. Even the most prepared person might not land the job if that preparation doesn’t translate to how well he performs in the interview. Be sure to do the following at your next interview: * Arrive at least 10 minutes early.

Is work costing you money? Waking up five days a week and going to work is how most people stay afloat financially. Without a steady paycheck, the majority of people would not be able to sustain their lifestyles. But even if working is essential to keeping a roof over your head and food on your table, it could be costing you more money than you realize. The following are some of the ways that work could be burdensome on your finances and some possible ways to reduce that burden. Location - The location of your office could be putting a significant dent into your finances. If you work far away from home, the high cost of fuel is no doubt very taxing on finances. The Center for Housing Policy, a nonprofit research affiliate of the National Housing Conference, notes that more than 85 percent of low- to moderate-income workers drive to work in private vehicles. Instead of taking your own car to work, consider public transportation. Such an option is likely to cost as much as $100 per month, but that figure pales in comparison to monthly fuel costs for men and women whose offices are a considerable distance from their homes. Childcare - Few costs are as considerable for working parents as childcare. In big cities, childcare costs are significant, while smaller cities tend to offer more affordable childcare options. But regardless of where you live, the cost of childcare is going to be a big part of your budget. Working parents who can work from home, even if it’s only a couple of days per week, can save a substantial amount of money. Food - Men and women who work in densely populated metropolitan areas might have numerous options at their disposals when it comes time to eat lunch. But eating lunch out every day can prove very expensive over time. If lunch costs roughly $10 per day, five days a week, that translates to roughly $200 per month for lunch, which is more than $2,000 per year. Instead of buying lunch out every day, brown bag it and you’re likely to save a considerable amount of money over the course of the year. Attire - If you must travel a lot for work or host clients on a regular basis, chances are your wardrobe needs to stay current, which can prove costly. If that’s the case, consult your employer about a possible clothing allowance to lessen the blow of looking so good.

Indians Lacrosse Out-Performed by Conard by Mark DiPaola A five-goal performance from senior attack man Danny Kycia, coupled with a Jackson Boisvert hattrick helped the Conard Chieftains (4-3) edge a slumping Newington High School lacrosse squad (3-5) in last Monday’s 12-6 contest at the Clem Lemire Recreational Complex in Newington, April 22. The Indians started the game strong, finishing the first quarter up 4-3, but the Chieftains would surge back in the second. Conard would tally four unanswered in a quarter that was largely defined by quick turnovers for both sides due to relentless riding that hampered zone to zone transition. Chieftain goaltender Timmy Fisher made several key saves, including a couple from point-blank range to keep Newington at bay. The sophomore stopped eight of the 14 shots he faced in the contest. But it was Boisvert that would have the biggest impact. The junior attack man got things going for Conard from up top, taking his defender left
with a split dodge and then rolling back to rip one from a few yards above the crease for the goal. He followed that play up with a behind the back finish on the crease coming off of a laser vision feed from behind the cage to the right. Newington struck back, scoring some late goals to put a dent in the deficit. Senior midfielder Jeffrey Rossman added a fourth quarter tally, running out from behind the cage uncontested to lay in the finish and give the Indians some life. Jake Karas had two goals for the Chieftains, with teammates John Palmero and Luke Garneau each adding one of their own. But the Chieftains would respond quickly with tallies of their own, ultimately sealing the victory. The Indians are looking to regain their early season three-game winning streak form, having lost five of their last six matchups. Newington will go on the road for a pair of games against Suffield and Granby before coming back home on May 8 to play Windsor. Successive goals from Conard offense caused a 12-6 Indians defeat.
Terrier Track Teams Showing Improvement by Katelyn Kelleher The Terriers boys and girls track teams faced hard defeats against Bloomfield last Wednesday, April 24, but the young teams are starting to develop some depth. “I’m excited about the girls team--our numbers are the biggest we’ve had in several years,” head coach Brian Graca said. “We’re doing well on the track and we’re starting to develop the field.” The team has solid competitors across the board--in sprints and distance, hurdler Erica Lucente and a few girls doing the pole vault. In a recent meet against Enrico Fermi High School in Enfield, the Terriers tied the girls team in points in the track events. “They’re a good girls team,” Graca said. Sophomore Briana Wilson, took third in the 200 meters against Bloomfield in 26.59, is approaching the school record. “We have a big crop of young girls who play soccer we’re trying to get down to the low 60 [second] range so we can have a competitive 4X400 [meter relay],” Graca said. “I believe we can break the 4X4 school record this season of 4:20.” On the boys side, the team has strong sprinters in Alex Brown and Chris Young and depth in the field events, with Andrew Jenkelunas in the javelin and Tyler Landry in discus. Graca said Landry could be a contender for a state title. Junior Alex Tan, who took second in the mile against Bloomfield in 4:41.63, is working on getting back in shape. The Terriers expect senior standout Joe Crafa to return to the track after missing the entire indoor season due to an achilles injury.
Sophomore Briana Wilson holds off Bloomfield’s Jordanne Ellington in the last leg of the 4X100 relay, good for second place.
Rocky Hill girls are all smiles during the mile. Alex Tan checks his split during the mile.
