At the CIAC Class LL boys outdoor track championships in New Britain on May 30, the Cardinals celebrated earning the team title, finishing ahead of rivals from Hamden. But the win was overturned by CIAC after a religious accommodation allowed a Hamden athlete to compete in the MM meet the following day, Sunday and have his points apply to the previous day’s event. The situation is unprecedented. GHS athletes and parents asked the CIAC to review how the situation was handled.
The 8U team won the Championship, defeating the Pomperaug Panthers 6-1 in front of an incredible home crowd at Banksville.
“Connecticut also got into cars early. Hartford, Bridgeport and New Britain all had their moment in the auto industry. But we also got into regulation early, because this is Connecticut and we do enjoy a good rule. In 1901, Connecticut passed the nation’s first statewide motor-vehicle speed-limit law: 12 miles per hour in cities and 15 on country roads.” – Jim Cameron
