Wilton Rowers Sweep New England Championship Regatta
Norwalk River Rowing put in an outstanding performance at the 14th Annual New England Junior and Master Championship Regatta in Worcester, MA this last weekend.

Here’s their tally — below are all gold-medal winners:
Women’s HS U15 4x-plus — MiddleBrook 8th grader Simi Bhutani and WHS freshman Olivia Sgritta
Men’s HS 4x — WHS juniors Luke Jameson and Cash Worthington, WHS Senior Max Reznick

Wilton Golf falls to Greenwich at Rolling Hills
In their final 2023 FCIAC Conference home match at Rolling Hills Country Club, the Wilton High School boys golf team played a solid round, returned a team score of 162 strokes, and took it on the chin from the Greenwich five via a 12-swing differential. The Cardinals simply produced a competitive six-over-par total display, three strokes superior to every opponent faced through 13 matches. The Warriors did not go quietly to the loss. The foursome pair of Co-Captain Hudson Hagmann and Tucker Farrell collaborated for an initial advantage featured by cards of even and one over par, 36 and 37. Senior lefty Drew Lane‘s 41 and a physically hampered Thomas Rogozynski‘s 48 filled in the third and fourth team scores. Will Soucy, playing in the exhibition (not match considered) sixth slot, birdied the difficult 426 yards doglegged uphill par 4 finishing hole to pencil in a fine 39.
The loss to the Cardinals left Wilton’s conference record (still with a final match soon to be played) at 8 wins, 3 losses, 2 ties — a near lock on inclusion in both FCIAC and state tournaments.
