Weston Girl Vaults to Top in New Arena Weston's Erica Litvak has soared through the air since she was a young girl. The sport in which she competes, however, has changed completely. Litvak won the South-West Conference championship last week in the pole vault. She is the top seed in the event for Wednesday's Class M championships and won the Class M indoor title in February. She was fifth in the State Open indoors and will continue her career in the fall at Villanova University. The pole vault is far different from gymnastics, the sport in which Litvak competed through the seventh grade. She trained at Stamford's Arena Gymnastic…

Runners Race to Support Wilton Schools There was lots of talking trash Sunday as runners gathered for the third annual Get Smart For Wilton 5k at the high school track.

It is expected to generate about $5,000, which will go to the purchase of Smart Board technology, to be used where needed in art classrooms, and for the professional development of teachers. As runners lined up on the track, they were instructed to go around the track a…
