Local Swimmer Competes at Olympic Trials
Every four years since 1896, when the first modern Olympic games took place, many young athletes have been eager to compete. Thousands–perhaps tens of thousands–have trained vigorously and over a significant amount of time, hoping for the opportunity to match their skills with those of others from around the world. Each of these young people has committed time and energy and often costs for coaching, knowing that an individual’s chances of getting to the Olympics are few and far between, and that even if an athlete is chosen to attend the event, the chances of winning a medal are again fairly remote.

UConn Basketball Signs Four-Star Freshman Wing Isaiah Abraham
UConn's men's basketball program continues to thrive with the addition of four-star freshman wing Isaiah Abraham from Virginia. Standing at 6-foot-7, Abraham boasts impressive athleticism and shooting ability, including a notable improvement in his three-point shooting from his senior year. While the current roster presents competition for minutes, with established players like Jaylin Stewart and incoming one-and-done Liam McNeeley, Abraham’s performance indicates he could make a significant impact in the future.

Ultimately, while minutes may be limited this season, Abraham’s growth will position him well for a larger role next year.
