North Haven Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Oct. 16

In an event that’s two years in the making, the North Haven High School (NHHS) Sports Hall of Fame is getting set to induct the members of its Class of 2020. The induction ceremony had been scheduled to take place on March 28, 2020, but was canceled one week prior due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The other inductees who will be recognized at the upcoming ceremony include Thomas Drury, a 1969 graduate who played football and baseball at North Haven; Marilyn Gillo, who is receiving the Service Award for her 25-year career working in the NHHS Athletic Department; Marian Rockwell, a member of the Class of 1971 who competed in gymnastics and outdoor track for North Haven before continuing with gymnastics at the University of Massachusetts; and Jennie Setaro, a 1996 graduate who played field hockey and golf at North Haven and then competed for the women’s ice hockey team at Northeastern University.
