Fairfield Prep is proud to announce the athletic commitments of three seniors, pictured from left with their varsity coaches: Thomas Nolan (Fairfield University basketball) with Leo Redgate; Bryce Keblish (University of Virginia swimming NLI) with Rick Hutchinson; and Cam Harris (Drexel University lacrosse NLI) with Chris Smalkais.

Thomas Nolan

Thomas Nolan takes special joy in his service commitment to the Shehan Center in Bridgeport, having spent much of his young life playing basketball in Shehan Center programs. As a volunteer, Thomas mentors children in whom he sees himself. Thomas’s formation brought him to Fairfield Prep where he has balanced his studies and basketball career well, a significant challenge as he has started at the varsity level since his first game in freshman year. He was a key player on the Prep team that advanced to the Class LL State Championship and earned Runner-Up in 2013 and 2014, as well as part of the first Prep team to win the SCC title. A standout in the Prep basketball program, Thomas was named MVP of the SCC Tournament last year as well as being named to the Connecticut Post and New Haven Register All-Star Teams. He was also named to the CHSCA All-State Team. Thomas has developed well personally in the close community at Prep, and Prep’s basketball program has benefited from his intensity and dedication to excellence on the court. Thomas has decided to continue his education in Jesuit tradition in committing to Fairfield University where he will begin his academic and basketball careers beginning in the fall of 2015.

Bryce Keblish

Since his freshman year, Bryce Keblish has had a profound impact on the Fairfield Prep Swimming & Diving team. A standout athlete and leader, Bryce has emerged as one of the top swimmers in Prep’s history setting multiple team, league and state records. In 2012 he was an instrumental member of the Prep team that would claim the SCC, LL and State Open titles. In 2013, Bryce achieved All- American status as a member of the 200 Freestyle and 400 Freestyle relays. In 2014, Bryce had one of the best individual seasons in Prep history achieving ALL-SCC and All-State honors for the third consecutive year, was an All-American in two Individual events (200 IM, 100 Butterfly) and two Relays (200 Freestyle, 400 Freestyle), won the State Open Title in the 100 butterfly, set a LL state record in the 200 IM and swam the third leg of the State Open winning 200 Freestyle Relay that set a CIAC record and was ranked 6th in the country. Bryce also competes for the Westport YMCA Water Rats Swimming Team where he is a Junior National Qualifier and a 7-time Finalist at the YMCA National Championships. In 2012 Bryce was on the Prep Varsity Soccer team that was Runner-Up at the LL State Championship. Bryce is in the National Honor Society and serves as a peer tutor on campus and at the Shehan Center in Bridgeport. He has also volunteered at the Wakeman Boys & Girls Club and was a founding member of the Fairfield Chapter of Scholars & Athletes serving others. Bryce looks forward to continuing his athletic and academic career at the University of Virginia.

Cam Harris

Cam is an outstanding student as well as a three-year starter on the varsity lacrosse team at Prep, who were Class L State Champions in 2013 and 2012, and won the SCC championship for the past four years. In 2014 he was a CIAC All-State Award winner and earned All SCC 1st Team honors. Lacrosse has been a big part of Cam’s life for many years, and he also plays in the off-season for the Eclipse and Bull Dog Lacrosse Clubs. Cam pushes himself in the classroom while taking many Honors and AP courses, and has also been a big contributor to Prep’s football team for the last two years as a wide receiver/defensive back. Cam has dedicated many hours in community service to the “Breakthrough Options for Families” in Norwalk, which provides advocacy and mentoring services for single-parent low income families. He tutors and mentors a young man who is growing up in a single parent home, and enjoys going to the movies, getting something to eat and playing recreational activities with him. An avid fisherman and skier, Cam is also an accomplished acoustic guitar player. Drexel University is a nationally ranked Division I lacrosse team, and Cam is thrilled to continue playing lacrosse for Coach Brian Voelker.
