06/17/2018 12:00 AMChris Candelora and Zelda Galdenzi represented North Branford High School when they were recently honored as CIAC Scholar Athletes at the 35th annual CAS-CIAC Scholar Athlete Banquet that took place at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington. The event is the largest of the many honors programs that CAS-CIAC hosts each year.
The scholar athlete program recognizes two high-school senior student-athletes (one boy and one girl) from each member high school whose academic and athletic careers have been exemplary, whose personal standards and achievement are a model to others, and who possess high levels of integrity, self-discipline, and courage. The honorees are chosen by the member schools and are then submitted to the CIAC.
More than 1,700 students, family members, school administrators, and coaches were in attendance to salute the scholar athletes and recognize their achievements at this year’s banquet. Chiney Ogwumike, the former No. 1 overall pick and WNBA Rookie of the Year and for the Connecticut Sun, gave the keynote address at the event. Film producer John Holt served as the host for the evening.
