Last week Linked Up featured primarily local sports, but this week there are some great stories both in and out of state. Really enjoy profiles on seniors who are working hard as their high school athletics careers come to a close.

From the New London Day: An NFA senior is enjoying his final run on the track before his college cross country career.
From the Coloradoan: A very nice piece about the life-long friendships that are often built on the high school sports fields.
From the New Haven Register: A former lacrosse coach is enjoying his new life on the airwaves.
From the Norwalk Hour: Weston girls lacrosse is enjoying record-breaking performances from Frances Holmes.
From Philly.com: A new study shows high school sports may play a role in helping to curb bullying among students.
From the Stamford Advocate: Is softball about the offense, defense, or the pitching? One writer weighs in.
From the Hartford Courant: A friendship built on baseball has carried onto the Unified Sports court for two Canton students. Also from the Courant, Kristine Lilly lays out keys to success at the Scholar Athlete banquet.
From the Norwich Bulletin: The Putnam softball team is enjoying a renaissance season.
From CBS.com: A new study shows the challenges of changing the mindset of athletes when it comes to head injuries.
From the Meriden Record-Journal: The Maloney athletics director is helping raise money for the Jimmy Fund with the Hewitt Run For the Cause.
From Cronkitenewsonline.com: More discussion of concussion laws and policy and how they have been applied in Arizona.
