Rams Fall to Greenwich in Title Game Rams Fall to Greenwich in Title Game Rams Fall to Greenwich in Title Game
Rams Fall to Greenwich in Title Game New Canaan boys lacrosse coach Alex Whitten thought his team played well enough defensively to win Friday’s Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference championship game. Offensively, however, it was a different story. Fifth-seeded Greenwich built a 5-0 lead and held on to defeat the third-seeded Rams, 5-4,  at Brien McMahon High School. The Cardinals (11-7) won their second title in four years. New Canaan (15-4), which last won the title in 2003, has lost its last four appearances in the championship game. “The guys we needed to step up offensively didn’t do it,’’ Whitten said. …

Runners Flock to Weston Race Runners Flock to Weston Race Runners Flock to Weston Race
Runners Flock to Weston Race It seems like just about everybody in Weston runs in the annual 5-kilometer race on Memorial Day weekend. That's not quite true, but the field is kind of like the Weston Running Championships. Last year, nearly 60 percent of the finishers were Weston residents, according to race director Karen Sitney. "The race is a big part of it, but the whole weekend has a big community feel to it,'' says Karen, who is directing the race for the first time. There were 544 finishers in last year's race, and this year could be even bigger. There were nearly 400 pre-registered runners as of Thursday. Sitne…

Theodoridis Came Long Way to NCAA Semis Dan Theodoridis picked up a lacrosse stick for the first time in 9th grade. Saturday, he'll be playing for Duke University in the NCAA semifinals against Virginia. It has been a startling swift journey for Theodoridis, who played at Norwalk High School. "I played football, and (former coach) Randy McHugh convinced me I should play lacrosse,'' says Dan, a 6-foot, 1-inch defenseman. "During my freshman year I played one or two games in lacrosse and from there it took off. I had to catch up quickly." Theodoridis started 16 games for Duke (14-4). He played in 19 games as a junior, but cracked t…
