Junior, Key West Swimming
He has a strong work ethic and encourages others to do the same. It was watchinggreat him swim the race and an awesome way to end the season.”
– Lori Bosco, Conchs head swim coach
1:51.78 new school record in the 200 freestyle
Key West’s Santiago Gonzalez set a goal this season, then quietly went about doing the work to achieve it. The junior freestyle specialist achieved his goals and more at the FHSAA Region 4 2A Championships last week when he broke the school record in the 200 freestyle event. Gonzalez’s 1:51.78 crushed the record set in 2018 by nearly a second, placing him in the Conch record books with another year of eligibility to break it again. At regionals, he also set a personal record in the 100 free race and anchored both the 400- and 200-yard relay teams, setting his team up for success. For his dedication and determination, which led to record-breaking success, Key West’s Santiago Gonzalez is the Key Weekly Athlete of the Week.

TWO FOR STATES
Lykins, Smith punch their cards for the big show
Swimmers from Coral Shores and Key West high schools traveled to their respective regional competitions last week following successful campaigns at districts. When the final race was complete, two Keys athletes made the cut to the state competition this week. Hurricane seniors Layne Smith and Aaron Lykins earned their spots at the big show, to be held at Ocala’s FAST facility on Nov. 8. Smith, the district champ in the pool’s longest race, the 500 free, swam to a fifth-place finish last week to earn a lane at states. Smith finished seventh in the 200 freestyle race, but did not quite make the cut in that event. She, along with Larkin Dunn, Parks Dunn and Sofia Figueredo, teamed up for a pair of relays that cracked the top 10 at regionals. The team swam to an eighth-place finish in the 200 freestyle relay and 10th place in the 200 medley relay.

Lykins, fresh off his district gold in the 1-meter diving competition, placed fourth at regionals. His score advanced him to the next round of competition, where he is seeded 10th and is well within reach of a state medal.
Key West did not have any state qualifiers this season, but did have some notable performances at regionals. The 400 freestyle relay team of Max Blinckmann, Jacob Perez, John Picco and Santiago Gonzalez finished in 10th place. Gonzalez went on to break Cruse Sweeney’s record in the 200 freestyle individual race, a mark which has stood for seven seasons.

HISTORY IN THE MAKING
Oliver, Merryman make the cut to regionals
For the first time in their respective histories, Coral Shores and Marathon are sending golfers to the FHSAA 1A Region 4 Championships.
After playing 18 holes at Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne on Oct. 28, three Keys golfers landed in the top five overall. Coral Shores freshman Scout Oliver tied for third place. Oliver shot an 81 for the day and moved up a notch after a birdie on the 18th hole. Marathon’s Emmett Merryman and Roco Piscetello both shot 83, tying for fifth place. Merryman moved up the ranks with consistency while Piscetello had birdies on the 12th and 14th holes to boost his score.
In Florida high school golf, the top two teams advance their athletes to the next round, then the remaining golfers are placed in a pool. The top two scores from the pool receive an individual bid to the next round. The only golfers ahead of Oliver were on the rosters of the first-place and runner-up teams, giving him the nod. In Merryman and Piscetello’s case, only one could advance, leaving it up to a tiebreaker.
The district tiebreaker last week first tabulated the back nine holes to determine a winner. After that, Merryman and Piscetello were still deadlocked, as both golfers scored 40. The second level of the tiebreaker counted the scores from the 13th to 18th holes, where Merryman had a two-stroke advantage over Piscetello for the final at-large spot. Neither program has ever sent a golfer past districts, making the event a milestone for both the Hurricanes and Dolphins. And though it was bittersweet for Piscetello, the sophomore has incredible potential, and with continued improvement, has a fantastic chance to punch his own card next season.
Oliver, Merryman and Piscetello were not the only notable performers last week. Dolphin senior Max Childress shot a 91 to take his place in the top 20. Childress finished 16th after 18 holes to end his prep golf career on a high note. Makenna Haines and Justice Lee Isom also landed in the top 20 in the girls competition. The Dolphin duo were 18th and 20th, respectively.
Key West sent its teams to the 2A district competitions on Oct. 27 and 28.
The girls teed off first at Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, where senior Claudia Steling finished in 10th place. Her performance was just seven strokes shy of an at-large spot at regionals. The senior leader scored 94 on the afternoon with a birdie on the third hole.
The boys teed off the following morning at Redland Golf and Country Club in Homestead. Geo Twyman had the best scorecard
for the Conchs. The junior turned in a 79, finishing at plus-7 on the day for ninth place. Twyman missed regionals by four strokes, but his performance was highlighted by birdies on the fifth and seventh holes. Jakub Krytinar had a pair of birdies of his own to help land him in the top 20. Krytinar’s 81 was good for 13th place.
Districts marked the end of the season for the Conchs and Monroe County’s girls’ teams. Oliver and Merryman will play at least one more round, with a chance at the big show. Regionals for the pair were at the Park West Palm Nov. 3 (results not available at press time). Should one of them have a stellar round and qualify for states, they play Nov. 14 and 15 at Howey-in-the-Hills Mission Resort + Club.
WE HAVE LIFTOFF
Girls
Oweightlifting season begins
ct. 29 marked opening day for Monroe County weightlifters. The Lady Fins and Conchs traveled to Coral Shores for the first official competition of the season, and the Conchs came home with the win. Key West outscored Marathon and Coral Shores in both the Olympic and traditional events. Marathon was second in Olympic, while Coral Shores finished in the runner-up spot in traditional.
In Florida high school weightlifting, athletes perform three lifts and are divided into 10 weight classes. The traditional event combines an athlete’s lifts in the bench press and clean and jerk, then the clean and jerk is paired with the snatch lift for the Olympic event scor-
ing. Last week’s competition saw double winners in all but one weight class.
Key West’s Althea Olsen had a pair of wins at 101 pounds. Caylee Moore, Camila Linares and Aaliyah McLeod were also double winners at 119, 169 and 199, respectively. Ava Walker won the traditional event at 139 to help boost the Conchs into first place.
Coral Shores had double wins from Emily Hurt in the 101-pound class, and Vanessa Gabriel did the same in the Unlimited category.
Marathon’s Ella Evans claimed first in both events at 129, as did Adelle Bainbridge at 154 and Justice Lee Isom at 183. Tinashay Cunningham won the Olympic event at 139.
Team scoring for weightlifting events awards points for the first four places in regular-season meets, but to determine which athlete had the top performance, a little more math is required. There are several equations used to calculate winners, but Florida uses the Sinclair Coefficient. The Sinclair compares a lifter’s totals in each lift with their individual body weight to determine who is the strongest competitor with their individual sizes factored in.
Last week, the top lifter was Marathon’s Justice Lee Isom, the three-time state champ who won by a large margin in both events. Ella Evans was second and Caylee Moore was third in both categories.

The Key West Conchs kicked off for what was most likely the last time this season at Tommy Roberts Memorial Stadium on Oct. 30, taking on University Christian School. The Christians, traveling from Jacksonville, are a team loaded with talent, with multiple Division 1 commits on their 57-man roster. Key West, in contrast, carries a 30-man bench, but held its own for three quarters of football despite the difference in team size.
“They are a quality team, there is no question about that,” said Conchs coach Johnny Hughes. “We had a tough time getting outside on our sweeps. Up front, we had some moments.”
AND THEN WAS ONE
Many of those moments came from the hands of the Conchs’ most devastating weapons, seniors Jeff Dejean and Walson Morin. Hughes contends that each is a scoring threat every time they touch the ball. Their athleticism led the change in Key West’s flexbone offense to one that catered more to putting the ball in the hands of Dejean and Morin as much as possible. Those touches led to all three of Key West’s touchdowns last week, two from Morin and the other from Dejean. Morin ran for over 100 yards against the Christians, and Dejean’s carries put him just five yards shy of the 1,000yard mark this season.
The Conchs led 16-15 at the half, but ultimately, the weardown of two- and oftentimes three-way players took its toll. University Christian scored in the second half, recovered an onside kick, then quickly scored again to put the game out of reach for Key West, with the final score 35-22 in favor of the Christians.
Keeping the Conchs in the fight as long as possible were Leo Batista, a senior with a knack for destroying opponents’ offensive schemes at linebacker, and Noah Mercer, whose play on the line is critical. Mercer’s ability to read offenses and muscle his way through to the quarterback has led to a slew of sacks this season.
Dejean will have his shot at the 1,000-yard club next week, as Key West’s record qualifies them for the playoffs. A delicate balance of other teams’ records and the outcomes last week made it extremely unlikely that Key West will have a home game for the playoffs, but they are still in the hunt for a state title. Their
opponent, like the game’s location, is still unclear, but Hughes likes his chances.
“We’ll match up well in the first round,” he said. After that round will come the ultimate test, since a win would probably mean a repeat of the Conchs’ week 7 matchup against the daunting Miami Northwestern Bulls.
In Marathon, the student body was present for a treat on Halloween. Pine Crest asked to play early in the afternoon so they could return to Fort Lauderdale in time for the festivities. The Panthers took an early lead, but the Dolphins were able to punch one in in the first half via a Jesus Gonzalez run.
A third-quarter nine-minute drive stalled on the 3-yard line to make a win this season unlikely for the Fins, but Steven Stotts managed to bully the ball into the end zone late in the game. Elliott Greenmaki’s kicks were good after both TDs to make the score 26-14 in favor of Pine Crest.
The loss spelled the end of the season for the team, which struggled to match up to their opponents but did not show even a hint of giving up.
“I can’t stress how proud I am of these guys,” said coach Sean McDonald. “Their character and tenacity are amazing. We are going to miss our seniors. They were our heart and soul and kept us focused no matter what happened.”
In their final game wearing Dolphin jerseys, the five seniors each stepped up to make an impact. In addition to Stotts’ touchdown, Eduardo Garcia and Matthew Delgado, a pair of linemen, had carries for positive yards.
Aiden Gilday’s penetration on the line sent the Panthers scrambling at times, and Christopher Paul’s play at center was on point, as it was the entire season. Next up for Marathon is a week of rest, then it’s back to the weight room, which McDonald says will drive next season.
“Your wins and losses in the fall often come from the work you put in the winter, spring and summer before,” he said. “We will be putting in the work, no question about it.”

WHEATLEY RUNS AWAY WITH WIN
Coral Shores sophomore takes first at Junior Orange Bowl meet
Coral Shores and Key West took their marks with over 20 South Florida teams on Oct. 30 at the Junior Orange Bowl Invitational run at Larry & Penny Thompson Park in Miami. The race will serve the teams well, as the course is the same one they will cover this week at their district championships.

Violet Jangraw and Isabella Gotuzzo ran season-best races and Ryah Bushey and Yaretzy Marquez both PRed. Coach Keara McGraw attributed the team’s success to great weather and
hard work from her athletes.

Behind him were Alaric Rodriguez, Garret Gomila, Tristan Rios, Tristan Sanchez, Will Thies, Charlie Willis, Christopher Pizer and Eli Smith.
