Weston's Hassett Named Athlete Of The Month WESTON, Conn. – Tyler Hassett’s contributions to the Weston High School football team this fall are well documented.

Hassett earned The Daily Voice’s Athlete of the Month honors after leading the Trojans to a 9-3 record and their first state tournament berth since 1989. Hassett did it all for the Trojans as the quarterback, defensive back and punter. He also set an example off the field as a leader and was a big reason the Trojans have improved since he started playing regularly as a sophomore. “As player, t…

Fairfield Prep Runner Competes At National Race FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Fairfield Prep junior Christian Alvarado wanted to get off to a fast start in last weekend’s Foot Locker cross country national championships.

But he aggravated an injury that bothered him earlier this fall after running the race's first mile in 4:47. He finished in 16:28 for the 5-kilometer course. Ed Cheserek of Newark, N.J., won in 14:59. Alvarado trailed Cheserek by just 28 second in the regional race just two …
