Bill Condon, who has been the head boys lacrosse coach at Conard High School since 1992, will be inducted into the Connecticut Chapter of the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame on Nov. 21, 2015, according to a news release from West Hartford Athletic Director Betty Remigino-Knapp.

This is the most recent accolade earned by Condon, whose Conard teams have won 263 games and appeared in six state semi-final games over the past 24 seasons.

In June 2015, Condon received the “Joe Oliva Friend of Lacrosse” award from the Connecticut Lacrosse Officials Association, the association’s highest honor, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to lacrosse in the state.

In 2000, Condon was named Connecticut High School Lacrosse Coach of the Year, and in 2008 was named Class M Coach of the Year.

Condon, who began his coaching career at Holy Cross High School in Waterbury, earned his 300th overall victory as a coach on May 5, 2015 with a win over East Lyme.

Condon will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at a ceremony and dinner on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2015, at Aldario’s Restaurant in Milford, CT.  Tickets are available on the Connectict Lacrosse website at www.ctlacrosse.org.
