John Wiseman is a 1986 graduate of Wilton High School, former captain of the lacrosse team, an All-American defenseman who eventually went onto Duke University, where he also captained the ACC Conference team from Durham, North Carolina.
His wife, Cindy, was also a standout lacrosse player, growing up in Westchester County, NY and playing at Villanova University in college. Cindy has coached the Wilton High School girls team for nearly the last decade, has twice won a state title (2004 and 2006) and has guided her team to an appearance in the CT Girls' Lacrosse Division I Final in the last five consecutive seasons.
John, who just accepted the position of head coach for the Wilton boys team this past August, is thrilled to be at the helm of a program that has won more state championships (20) than any other team in Connecticut. He becomes just the third coach in the program's history, following in the footsteps of legendary coach, Guy Whitten (17 state titles) and Paul MacNulty (3 state titles).
Coincidentally, Wiseman played under Whitten in 1984, 1985 and 1986, when the Warriors won three straight FCIAC Championships and one state title in '84.
This year's girls team is off to a fast start, going 6-0 in their first six games, while husband John's team is 4-2, with losses coming to Ridgefield and Darien, two elite teams in CT boys' lacrosse, a status that the Wilton boys would love to reclaim under their new head coach.
