Last Friday, all West Haven High School student-athletes participated in a seminar on mental health in sports. Guest speakers Melvin Wells III, Latrell Alston, and Kwadir Delgado-McIntyre, spoke on the importance of balancing life and athletics, the importance of one's mental health, the pressures of athletics and peer pressure of others, choosing a college that fits you overall, and the positive role/impact athletes can have on our communities. Students asked fantastic questions and stayed after the presentation to speak personally and ask questions with the presenters. We'd like to thank Melvin, Latrell, and Kwadir for taking the time to come speak with our student-athletes and making such a positive impact!
Before the West Haven High School baseball game on Friday, May 10th, Co-Athletic Director Mike Anquillare hosted a ceremony for former baseball players Jamie Russell ’89 and Jerry Gambardella ’00, whose lives were taken too early in 2001. Memorial rocks in their honor, which were placed at Painter Park, have been moved to the entrance of the John “Whitey” Piurek Baseball Field at WHHS, where all the junior varsity and varsity games are played. Anquillare and Superintendent Neil Cavallaro addressed the current team in front of the rocks and provided some words of encouragement. Jamie’s mother, Carol, his niece Maile (a senior at WHHS), and Jerry’s parents, Jerry and Marianne, were also in attendance to celebrate the new placement of the memorial.
