Greenwich Central HS track and field and cross country standout Nina Sgambelluri has signed an NCAA letter of intent to attend the University of Delaware. Nina has applied to the Honors College and will study engineering.
Nina helped the Witches win a state championship in cross country, in 2018 and was named Class C First Team All-State in the Fall 2, 2020 season. In winning the 2020 Wasaren League cross country championship, Nina's performance also bested the winning boys race time.
In the 2021-22 Indoor and outdoor track seasons, Nina aspires to better her current personal records in the mile (5:07) and 3000M (10:11) races.
Nina becomes the 14th NCAA Division I track and field/cross country signee from GCS since 2007. Two others accepted DII athletic scholarships in this time period.
It has been an exciting time for Greenwich running fans, as Nina's father, GCS math and science teacher Mike Sgambelluri, has helped coach her. Mike was a running star at Bucknell University and Nina will continue a family tradition for Delaware.
