    2015-16 Season Limitations Changes

    2015-16 Season Limitations Changes

    November 12th, 2014

    In August the CIAC Board of Control approved changes for the season limitations and practice dates for the 2015-16 season beginning in the fall 2015. The changes were approved after the 2014-15 CIAC Handbook went to print, therefore the on-line edition has incorrect dates listed for 2015-16. The CIAC has attempted to share the correct dates as widely as possible and they will be correct in the next edition of the CIAC Handbook, but in[...]

Girls Lacrosse: From the Darien News: Chemistry took Darien from good to great and helped them earn a class L championship.

    Girls Lacrosse Tournament Missing Familiar Face

    Girls Lacrosse Tournament Missing Familiar Face

    June 10th, 2014

    For the first time in nearly a decade, the CIAC girls lacrosse tournaments opened play this past week without Cindy Dysenchuk overseeing the action as tournament director. It certainly is not due to a lack of commitment to girls lacrosse, but rather the opportunity to excel in another one of her passions proved too much to resist. In this case she traded watching lacrosse sticks to taking up a field hockey stick and taking part[...]

    For a variety of reasons "Eye On The CIAC" has not been published during the spring season.

    Previous Eye On The CIAC posts have suggested the spring season was winding down, and this week it officially winds down with brackets and tournament play commencing at the late of the week. As such, the focus of most of this look back at last week are teams fighting to reach the the .400 winning percentage mark that teams need to earn a spot in the championship brackets.

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[...]

    A rare spring week with virtually no rain led to a very busy week of competition. With May now underway, the CIAC rankings have stabilized a bit as is evident in the Rankings Watch section, and there were a lot of close and noteworthy results from the past week. Boys Volleyball: Wethersfield opened its week with a hard-fought 3-2 over Simsbury. After opening the season 1-2, Wethersfield has reeled off five-straight wins with each of the last[...]

    The calendar is about to flip to May, which means there is just about a month to go in the high school season. Plenty of exciting action as the spring seasons really start to take shape and some compelling results from the past week.

    This edition of Linked Up is admittedly a bit maudlin and sentimental. As this sentence is typed, there is a manhunt going on in the Boston area, in the days following a heartbreaking tragedy. Yet as has been frequently pointed out these terrible events often bring out the best in humanity as people pull together. Similarly, when talented writers tackle the immense emotion in such situations, it produces brilliant and touching pieces of writing. Which[...]

    By Ken Lipshez Special to CIACsports.com WEST HARTFORD -- Coping with the tragedy that befell the Sandy Hook section of their town on December 14 is a recurring nightmare that the Newtown High girls lacrosse players will be forced to endure the rest of their lives. The camaraderie engendered by their team under the guidance of coach Maura Fletcher provided group therapy when the pain was sharp and new. The girls, along with other members of the school’s athletic[...]

Girls Lacrosse: A great early season battle with Danbury outlasting Fairfield Ludlowe 14-13 in overtime to open the week.

Spring sports officially kicked off with competition on Wednesday April 3, and at times the weather almost felt spring-like the past few days. The Eye will focus a bit more on key match-ups as the seasons progress, but for this first edition, the primary factor was games with narrow margins of victory. There is four[...]

    As expected, the frequency of team previews in the media are heating up as the start of the high school sports season inches closer. And there is a wide variety to sample today. The first story, however, is not a preview but rather an important piece from the Danbury News-Times about the growing use of steroids among female high school students. A very interesting story, particularly the notion that bucks conventional wisdom that steroids are always used[...]
