Cheney Tech Student Earns Spot on the Connecticut All-State Baseball Team

Dan Lima, a class of 2011 student in Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) and member of the Cheney Tech Varsity Baseball Team has been named to the Connecticut All-State Baseball Team.  Dan is the only Connecticut Technical High School baseball player to be selected as a state All-State this year and he also is the first Cheney Tech sophomore ever to be selected for the team.

Some of the highlights of Dan's Cheney Tech baseball career are:

  • In the 2007-08 season he had the most stolen bases (45) in the State and was 3rd in the Country.
  • #1 in stolen bases in the State again this year.
  • An outstanding .469 batting average and a .589 on base percentage

Some quotes about Dan.

  • Frank Niederwerfer Athletic Coordinator: "Dan is a great kid, he works hard at everything that he does".
  • John Hoyle, CADD Instructor; "Dan is very meticulous in his work, he is a perfectionist and he possesses the skills to get it done right.  He is a great kid and an excellent student."
  • I'm am sure his coach would have great things to say about Dan as well, unfortunately Coach Marineau could not be contacted in time for the posting of this web page.

A quote from Dan: "I am honored to win this award.  I love playing baseball, I love our coach and our team, it's like a family to me."

Congratulations Dan!
