Greenwich Girls Go Far With CBC Rowers Maria Lycouris and Abbie Frey were just getting their feet wet in rowing five years ago.

Minimalist Marathoner Is Ready for Long Run Roberta Andreasi runs three times a week, doesn't wear a fancy watch and rarely ventures outside to train. The minimalist marathoner will make her Boston debut when she stands on the starting line at the Boston Marathon on April 18.

For longtime fans Stamford's Nick DeVito and Mike Tamborrino, the Final Four run has been particularly sweet.
