Donn Cabral of Glastonbury will represent the USA in the Steeplechase Competition in London
When the Summer Olympic Games kicked off with the opening ceremonies on Friday, July 27th, there were plenty of familiar faces for fans of the CIAC and Connecticut interscholastic sports to cheer for.
Not all the competitors were CIAC athletes (lots of successful rowers hailing from the state) but there are plenty of CIAC standouts among the group. The state newspapers have done a stellar job telling many of these stories, so check them out as they prepare to represent their state and their country as the games begin.
