With the 2024 Paris Olympics officially kicking off Friday, Connecticut will be well represented by more than two dozen athletes competing on the world stage.

Greenwich will be represented in women's field hockey by 21-year-old Beth Yeager. The former Sacred Heart student and current Princeton field hockey star was named to the U.S. Women's National Team last June.
