NEWTON

Ariel Newton is carrying on a great pole vaulting tradition here at Key West, but she’s truly carving out her own legacy. With her recent personal record of 12’ 3.5”, she has established herself as one of the most improved and dominant vaulters in the state. We’re excited to see her bring that Southernmost grit to the runway next Thursday.”

— Dave Perkins, Key West track coach

12’ 4” at districts new school record

Momentum is building at just the right time for Key West junior Ariel Newton, who continues to raise the bar, both literally and figuratively, during a standout postseason run. Newton captured district gold two weeks ago and followed it up with a regional championship last week, automatically qualifying for the state meet and putting herself squarely in the title conversation. Her top vault of 12 feet, 4 inches this season set a new school record, a mark that reflects just how quickly she has developed in the event.

In only two years of pole vaulting, Newton has nearly doubled her results, a testament to her work ethic and willingness to attack a technically demanding discipline. A dynamic athlete, Newton also runs a mean 200 and has the discipline, determination and family lineage to bring another state title home to the Southernmost City like her older brother Ian did just last season. In 2025, she placed 10th, but the sky’s the limit for her next week.

For her consistency, steady climb through the postseason and willingness to do whatever it takes to be the best in one of the most challenging events in track and field, Key West’s Ariel Newton is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

All three of Monroe County’s high schools will be represented at the 2026 FHSAA State Championships in Jacksonville after standout performances from local athletes on the track and in the field.

Marathon’s Justice Lee Isom added to her extensive medal collection, picking up two golds and a silver at the 1A regional meet last week at Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar. Lee Isom started the day with a second-place finish in the javelin event, tossing the spear 99’ 1”. She followed that up with firstplace finishes in the shot put (38’ 7.5”) and discus (112’ 4”). Her accomplishments in the field on May 1 automatically qualified Lee Isom for the state meet. Athletes placing first or second receive automatic bids and the next 10 best times or marks in each event at each classification qualify those athletes for at-large bids.

ROAD TRIP!

Joining Lee Isom at states with automatic bids are the members of Marathon’s 4x800 meter relay team. Kristel Morales, Landon Anderson, Lucian Burns and Tony Bursa set a new school record of 8:16 with their first-place finish at regionals. Burns will be busy at states, as he will run his leg of the relay and compete in the individual 1,600-meter race after placing second in 4:34. Burns set a new PR with his runner-up finish, and he was not done yet. The fierce freshman set another PR in the 3,200-meter race with a third-place 10:05 finish and an at-large bid in a third event.

Athletes from all three Keys schools qualify for track and field states

Caleb Shelar set a school record of his own, racing the 400-meter hurdles in 59.17 seconds to finish fourth and add to Marathon’s team point total. His strong finish also gave him a coveted at-large bid to the big show.

Daysi Williams matched her PR and school-record high jump mark. The 5’ 1.75” leap was the best of the day, giving the senior a shot at a state medal to cap off her final season. Fellow senior Ava Merryman’s third-place pole vault finish (9’ 4.25”) was good for an at-large spot at states, where she has lots of potential to medal.

The Dolphins collected their final points from freshman Isabele Wiseman, eighth grader Maverick McDonald and seventh grader Molly Joly. Joly’s 3,200-meter run was good for sixth place and Wiseman and McDonald both placed eighth in the pole vault.

In the 2A competition, Coral Shores sophomore Ali Wheatley ran a spectacular 3,200-meter race, finishing first in the region and securing a trip to states. Wheatley finished her eight laps in 11:44. She will be joined by senior Alaric Rodriguez, who set a new PR and school record in the 400 hurdle race with a 57.32-second finish. Rodriguez finished third and qualified for states with an at-large bid. Rodriguez also ran a leg of the Hurricane 4x800 relay team that placed eighth. Joining Rodriguez for the point-grabbing finish were Adrik Mayer, Victor Lopez and Jaime Cary.

Key West also had several strong finishes in the 2A event. The Conchs brought home a pair of golds, both in the pole vault event. Junior Ian Torrealba Lopez cleared the bar at 11’ 9.75” and classmate Ariel Newton scaled 11’ 3.75” for Key West’s best performances of the day. Both will compete at states. Also picking up points for the team in pole vault were Maya Gray, who placed fifth; Lilly Good, who was sixth in the girls competition; and Jorge Sanchez, Kovey Castillo and Saul Ramirez, who finished fourth, seventh and eighth, respectively.

Joining Newton and Torrealba Lopez at states will be a trio of seniors who qualified for at-large spots in field events. Audrey Smith’s fourth-place javelin toss (109’ 8”) and seventh-place discus throw (98’ 3”) made the cut, as did Jeff Dejean in long jump. Dejean placed sixth with a 21’ 4” leap. Leo Batista’s third-place toss of the shot put landed 47’ 0.25” away and was good for a spot in Jacksonville.

Key West’s final qualifier was the 4x100 team of Mirakle Humphrey, Jordan Greene, Janiliah Moore and Damarla Thompson. The fearsome foursome finished third and easily made the cut for states.

Key West secures district championship to stay in the hunt for a state title

The Lady Conchs didn’t just pick up a softball win against the Thoroughbreds of Hialeah High on April 28; they made a statement. Key West shut out their district semifinal opponent in a display of showmanship. Brianna Brenner delivered a dominant performance in the circle, hushing Hialeah’s bats entirely, striking out five in a no-hit game that ended after just three innings.

Behind Brenner’s superb pitching, the Conch bats were ablaze, with 14 hits and 15 runs – 11 in the first inning alone – to stun the Thoroughbreds early. They did not let up until the mercy rule took effect. Maicee Gage led the charge with a single and double. Lucy Katz and Arianna Garcia doubled and the remainder of the team’s 10 hits came off the bats of 10 players. Singling in the big win were Eleanor Watler, Charlie Bracher, Mia Waldner, Lilee Gage, Shylo Sanchez, Chloe Kongos, Gianna Wardlow, Kaleaya Dickerson, Aliyah Arencibia and Kaleya Cervantes.

After effectively dispatching the fourth seed in FHSAA’s 4A District 16, the top-seeded Conchs faced second-seeded Lourdes Academy in the district championship game on April 29. The Royal Lions jumped out to an early lead in the top of the first and Lourdes held on to the 1-0 lead until the fourth inning, when they tacked on another to make it 2-0.

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE

A ninth district championship was looking unfavorable for Key West, who started their side of the fourth inning with a flyout.

That’s when the Conch bats awoke. Key West piled on 10 hits, then added a walk and a struck batter to score 11 runs before the Royal Lions could send them back to the dugout. Another run in the fifth turned a potential disaster into a mercy-rule win in favor of the Conchs, handing the Southernmost City another district title to their lengthy legacy of diamond play. Maicee Gage registered three hits in as many at-bats to lead the offense for the second game in a row. Katz started the rally with a triple and added a double for a two-hit night while Bracher, Dickerson and Cervantes had two singles each. Shylo Sanchez doubled and Garcia and Aaliyah McLeod singled for a total of 14 Conch hits. Brenner delivered another standout performance, striking out four, walking two and surrendering two hits and two runs over five innings.

The now 14-9 Conchs headed to the regional quarterfinal on May 6 against Lourdes Academy (results not available at press time).

Marathon, fresh off a conference championship and win against rival Coral Shores, hosted Frostproof High in the FHSAA 1A Rural District 8 quarterfinals on April 27. The Bulldogs’ lower seed sent them on a five-hour road trip to the Middle Keys, where they were able to string together a series of hits, walks and errors to take the lead in the third inning. Marathon put together their own offensive onslaught in the second half of the third, pouring on 10 runs

and making a Bulldog comeback unlikely.

Anastasia Boose struck out three with no walks and surrendered seven hits and six runs (four earned), over five innings when the mercy rule took effect. Boose also added to the offense, with one of three Dolphin doubles. Maeve Merryman and Madelyn Thornton had the others, while Shaina and Sara Robinson each singled. The Lady Fins stole seven bases and drew 18 walks in the quarterfinal win, which placed them in the semis and sent the Fins on their own fivehour trip the following day.

The Miners of Fort Meade made it clear they earned their top seed in District 8. The Miners took the lead in the first and grew it until the mercy rule took effect after four innings. A strong Miner bullpen shut down the Dolphin bats, allowing just one Marathon hit, a Maeve Merryman single. The Miners logged 19 hits to fuel a 16-1 win that sent Fort Meade to the championship game and ended the season for the Fins. Marathon finished 13-5 with a playoff win to cap off a strong season, and with just one senior and multiple middle school athletes on their roster, things look bright for them in 2027.

HARD FINISHES ON HOME FIELDS

District champions Marathon and Key West

fall short of state run

With higher seeds secured, Key West and Marathon’s baseball teams each brought their regional semifinal series home, hosting three-game matchups against Somerset Academy and Williston. Both teams, already crowned district champions, sought a coveted state title, with game one set for May 1 and games two and three for the following day.

The Red Devils of Williston rolled into Marathon for the 1A Rural regional quarterfinals. Marathon led 3-2 after the first inning, but a seven-run second-inning surge gave Williston the lead, and despite some shining moments of offense from the Fins, the Devils put the game out of reach.

Dylan Williams got the start on the mound and spanned one and two-thirds innings before the Red Devils got to see four more Fins pitchers. The collective work was a strategic move by Marathon coach Joey Gonzalez, who made careful count of

pitches to ensure his bullpen staff was eligible to put in more work in games two and three, if necessary. Williams’ bat was strong; the junior logged three hits and an RBI to lead the offense. Massimo Quargnali and Gabriele Cirina doubled and Roco Piscetello, Reef Rella and Bradley Buigas had one base hit each in the 9-6 loss.

Game two was a must-win for Marathon, and Gonzalez put his team in the capable hands of Cirina, who went the distance, pitching seven innings, striking out eight, walking five and giving up two hits and one run in a masterful outing. Offensively, the Dolphins got things started early with a sacrifice fly from Jack Chapman in the top of the first. Chapman added another sacrifice fly in the top of the third to extend the lead and add two RBIs to his stats. The Dolphins amassed seven hits in total with three more from Williams, two from Buigas and two from Cirina. Marathon gave up one run in the fourth, but held on for a 2-1 win to

extend the series to game three an hour later. In that game, Marathon pulled ahead with a 2-1 lead after the first and stayed there until the third, when Williston battled back to lead 3-2. Marathon dug deep to reclaim the lead in the fourth, and held on to the 4-3 advantage until the final frame. Sophomore Chapman got the start for the Fins and was effective against the Devils’ bats through six and one-third innings, but it took four more Fins pitchers to record the final two outs and retire the side. In that span, the Devils churned out six runs to claim the lead and add enough of a cushion to steal the game.

Quargnali had a pair of hits while Chapman and Miles Murphy had one hit and one RBI each. Williams and Curren Nicolay had one base hit each for a total of seven Dolphin hits. The 9-4 loss sent the Devils to the finals and ended Marathon’s season with a solid 19-10-1 record.

Key West’s path was eerily similar to that of the Dolphins. The Conchs trailed for most of game one, putting two runs on the board in the sixth inning but ultimately losing 5-2 to the Panthers of Somerset Academy. Donovan Thiery took the helm for Key West, pitching five innings, striking out six, walking four and surrendering just four hits and two runs. Auggy Davila pitched two innings of relief, but their strong presence on the mound was not enough to overcome the Panthers. Six different Conchs had one hit each for Key West. Kade Maltz and Roman Garcia doubled while Darreld Tremino, Jackie Niles, Xavier Perez and Thiery singled. Maltz and Tyrone Cervantes batted in one run apiece in the loss.

The following day, Maltz took control, spanning seven innings for the Conchs. Maltz fanned four, walked four and surrendered just two hits and two runs (one earned), before Cervantes and Nelson Ong worked the relief effort. Key West led 2-0 after the first inning and added two more in the fourth, and though the Panthers started to chip away at that lead, the Conchs held on for a

4-2 win, forcing a third game in the series. Perez, Thiery, Maltz and Kristian Masters had one hit each. Ong and Cervantes had one RBI apiece and Thiery accounted for the other two.

With the series tied up, advancing to the regional final series was on the line in game three. A Key West error gave Somerset a 1-0 lead in the first, then an Ong sacrifice fly put Key West on the board in the second inning. Key West had a 3-1 lead by the end of the second, but after that, Somerset took over. The Panthers compiled eight hits, four walks and a pair of free bases off struck batters, then took advantage of three Conch errors to pile on 10 runs.

Thiery, Davila, Masters, Tremino and Niles each singled for Key West, and Ong got the start for Key West’s final game of the season. Ong lasted two and one-third innings, striking out four, walking none, and giving up no hits and two runs in solid work for the Conchs. Four more pitchers chipped in for the relief effort in the 10-4 loss. The regional semifinals were the end of the road for Key West, who finished the season 19-10-1.

With graduation weeks away, two Monroe County seniors are just beginning the next level of their athletic careers.

Marathon High School studentathlete Christopher Paul has signed to continue his football and academic career with the Coe College Kohawks in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

ONWARD

Paul, Camargo sign to play at the next level

Paul, a four-year varsity starter with Marathon's football team, has demonstrated exceptional dedication, leadership and performance throughout his high school career. During his time at Marathon, he has earned recognition on the All-Keys Football Team in his senior season as well as the team’s Outstanding Offensive Lineman. During the 2024 season, he was named the Marathon Special Teams Player of the Year. He is the sixth Marathon player over the last four years to continue his football career in college.

At Coe College, Paul plans to pursue a major in criminal justice. On the gridiron, he’ll be specializing in the long snapper position.

Paul is the son of Marathon High School Principal Christine Paul and Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Captain Derek Paul, both proud graduates of Marathon High School.

“Christopher Paul is what Marathon football is all about – four years of commitment without ever missing a practice, a selfless teammate who moved from tight end to center when his team needed him most, a dependable long snapper, and a young man of outstanding character from a proud football family,” said Marathon head coach Sean McDonald. “He didn’t just play the game; he represented everything our program stands for.”

In the Southernmost City, Key West High School student-athlete Sebastian Camargo has signed to continue his soccer and academic career with Upper Iowa University.

Camargo, a four-year varsity starter for the Conchs, has been a consistent and effective presence on the pitch throughout his high school career. A senior captain this season, he was known for his attacking ability, versatility and willingness to do whatever was needed for the team. Despite being asked to play out of position for much of the year, Camargo embraced the role without complaint and continued to produce, finishing with eight goals and four assists before an injury cut his season short just after the Christmas break.

At Key West, Camargo established himself as a dynamic forward and a reliable leader, earning the respect of teammates and coaches alike for both his performance and his team-first mentality. Even while sidelined, he remained engaged and supportive, continuing to contribute as a positive presence on the sidelines.

At Upper Iowa, an NCAA Division II program, Camargo will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact. He received multiple offers, including opportunities to play overseas, ultimately choosing Upper Iowa for its strong fit both academically and athletically. With the coach who recruited him stepping into a head coaching role, Camargo is expected to compete for early playing time and bring his trademark work ethic to the program.

“He will bring an unbelievable work ethic to that team and will help them straight away,” said Key West head coach Nic Farrar. Camargo’s signing reflects years of hard work and dedication, as well as the support of his family, coaches, teammates and the Key West community.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

When Ashley Blair boarded her flight to Portland, Oregon, she was about 38 weeks pregnant. By the time the plane landed, she was a new mom. Brielle Renee Blair was born on April 24 on a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Portland, the Associated Press reported. Two passengers, paramedics Tina Fritz and Kaarin Powell, helped deliver the baby. With limited supplies available on board, Fritz and Powell had to improvise. They gathered blankets from other passengers and even shoelaces, to tie off the umbilical cord. Blair gave three “super, really good pushes, and the baby came out really quickly,” Fritz said. “It was nice. ... Baby pinked up right away. She was gorgeous. Mom was a rock star.” Personnel from Portland Airport Fire & Rescue “found the mother and baby healthy, and the new family was transported to a local hospital for observation,” Port of Portland spokesperson Molly Prescott said.
