Norwalk Soccer Blasts Wilton Norwalk High's boys soccer team hasn't faced many challenges so far this season. Leading 1-0 at halftime against a stubborn Wilton squad Saturday night at Testa Field, coach Chris Laughton asked his team to put the Warriors away. And the Bears responded.

Rowayton Man Takes 3rd in Triathlon Gus Ellison crossed the finish line first at Saturday's Trifitness Fairfield Triathlon.

Jonathan Fecik of Pennsylvania, who started in a wave after Ellison, won the event in 59:24. Shaun Tamorozzi of Manhasset, N.Y., took second and Ellison settled for third. In the wave start, the athletes start by age group. Ellison started before Fecik, and hoped his time would be good enough to win. "I knew there were a couple of fast guys behind me,'' Ellison said.

Wilton Boys Soccer Falls to Norwalk Wilton soccer coach Jim Lewicki knew exactly what Norwalk would do during Saturday's soccer game at Testa Field.

"We told the guys they were going to give-and-go, and that's all they did,'' Lewicki said. "That's one of the fast teams I've seen. They're all fast, especially on the wings. They all have great technical skills." Andres Torres scored two goals for Norwalk (5-0), while Spencer Jacoby and Kevin Joslyn added one apiece. Torres scored in the first half,…
