Wilton Wahoo Swimmer Masters Rivals at Nationals WILTON, Conn. – Kristin Gary likes to say "once a Wilton Wahoo, always a Wilton Wahoo.'' She could also add once a fast swimmer, always a fast swimmer. Weston native Gary, 44, represented the Wahoos at the YMCA Masters National Championships earlier this month in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and returned home with six individual gold medals and two silvers. She also swam on four relay teams that won gold medals. "I was a little delirious by the end,'' Gary said. She set a YMCA record in the 100-yard individual medley, breaking a record that had stood since 2005. She also won the 100-, 200- and 50…

Wilton Softball Betrayed Again By One Bad Inning Wilton Softball Betrayed Again By One Bad Inning
Wilton Softball Betrayed Again By One Bad Inning WILTON, Conn. – The fifth inning of Wilton’s 12-0 softball loss to Norwalk illustrated the problems the Warriors have encountered this season. The Warriors trailed 2-0 – Norwalk scored a pair of unearned runs in the first inning – and pitcher Dani Miskinis had held the Bears (9-1 overall, 9-0 in the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference) to just two hits. With one out in the fifth, Miskinis walked two batters and another reached on a bunt. He induced a ground ball that could have been a double play. Instead, there was throwing error, a run scored and the floodgates opened. No…
