North Haven Athletes to Play for College Teams

More than 30 Cheshire Academy students will continue their athletic careers at college in the fall. That’s the highest number of students to achieve that goal in the Academy’s recent history.

The majority of the students have made the roster or received a scholarship at their respective schools. A handful of athletes will attempt to earn a walk-on spot on a college team.

“It proved to be a record-setting year. We provided student athletes at Cheshire Academy the opportunity to pursue their dreams to play at a college level, in either Division I, II, or III,” said Athletic Director Brett Torrey.

This has been a banner year for Cheshire Academy athletics, in more ways than one. In addition to the strong college listings below, in just one year, the Academy has celebrated seven New England tournament appearances, Torrey said.
