SUCCESS STORIES
Michael Boyton
Besides being a National Honor Society nominee and earning high honors throughout his freshman and sophomore years at Trinity Catholic with a 3.7 GPA, Michael Boyton has tried to establish himself as a baseball and basketball player at a school rich in tradition in both.
Boyton, who was a member of the Stamford Babe Ruth 14-year-old all-star team that reached the World Series in 2005, was on the junior varsity squad last season. He can pitch, play the outfield and the infield, but sees himself mostly as a middle infielder. Boyton played JV basketball last season. He is a three-time Hot Shoot Shooting Contest state champion and was the Knights of Columbus Free Throw Shooting state champion in 2004.
Boyton's resume also includes countless hours of extracurricular and community activities. He has been a coach in the Stamford Youth Basketball and Young Timers basketball programs, a Little League umpire and a St. Cecilia's summer camp assistant. In addition, Boyton has been a research volunteer at the Stamford Historical Society for the last two years.
Boyton figures to spend the next several years of his life the same way he has spent these last few: concentrating on school work, sports and working in his community.
