Message Regarding Captain’s Practices

As a reminder, Stamford Public Schools and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) do not permit or support captain’s practices. Per the CIAC 2020-2021 Handbook, a captain’s practice is defined as below:

4.5.D. CAPTAIN’S PRACTICE (DEFINITION) The term “Captain’s Practice” usually means the team’s captain organizing and conducting practice sessions for that sport without adult supervision. The CIAC does not in any way sanction, encourage or condone “Captain’s Practice” in any sport. “Captain’s Practice,” depending on the member school’s involvement, may be a clear violation of eligibility rule II.D. (seasons limitations) or certainly a violation of the spirit of Rule II.D.

Also No. Rule 2.1.c. states: Member schools may not organize or permit coaches to organize, supervise or operate athletic practice which includes captain’s practices.

If you have questions, regarding this information, please contact your Athletic Director.

OLIVIA COGNETTI AND SPENCER CAMPBELL NAMED CAS-CIAC SCHOLAR-ATHLETES FOR 2022-23

The Westhill Athletic Department is proud to announce that seniors Olivia Cognetti and Spencer Campbell have been named Westhill's 2022-23 CAS-CIAC Scholar-Athlete honorees.  They, along with all of the state-wide honorees, will be honored at the Annual Connecticut High School Scholar-Athlete Awards Program and Banquet on Sunday May 7.  The event is held at the Aqua-Turf Club in Southington. 

The CAS-CIAC Scholar-Athlete Program annually recognizes two high school seniors from each member school whose academic and athletic careers have been exemplary, whose personal standards and achievements are a model to others, and who possess high levels of integrity, self-discipline and courage.

Olivia is a 4-year member of the girls soccer team and served as team captain in 2022.  She also ran two seasons of outdoor track.  She will be attending the University of Southern California in the fall, where she plans on studying electrical and computer engineering.

Spencer plays both football and boys lacrosse for the Vikings, and also ran one season of outdoor track.  A National Honor Society, Spencer plans on attending the University of Virginia, where he will major in Mechanical Engineering.

Congratulations to both of our honorees.
