Westhill's Success Doesn't Surprise Coach Westhill's Success Doesn't Surprise Coach Westhill's Success Doesn't Surprise Coach
Westhill's Success Doesn't Surprise Coach Some observers of Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference boys basketball are surprised that Westhill has thrust itself into the chase for the league championship.

Georgetown Decision a Slam Dunk for Carter When she was younger, Jillian Carter kicked, swam and splashed in the water for hours. "My neighbors had to pull me out of the pool,'' says Carter, who swims for Convent of the Sacred Heart in Greenwich and the Norwalk-based Zeus club program. "I would hold my breath as long as I could. My parents always called me a little fish." The little fish is about to enter a big pond. Carter, whose specialty is the 100 butterfly, recently committed to swim next year at Georgetown University.
