ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Josh

KOLER

Junior, Marathon Basketball

Josh has been putting in a lot of work since last season. He has solidiﬁed himself as our big guy and is leading the team in rebounds and blocks.” — Jim Murphy, Fins head coach

Photo by NATALIE DANKO/ Keys Weekly

When Marathon faced a giant last week, they called upon a giant of their own. The Dolphins, who compete in the 1A Rural designation, hosted Miami High, a 7A school whose enrollment stands at 3,000 while Marathon hovers just around 400. The team’s bench included a pair of 6’8” athletes and at least six players who surpassed Marathon’s big man. Koler, 6’4”, did not let the size mismatch affect his play in the slightest. He dropped 15 points on the Stingarees, grabbed eight rebounds and two steals, and swatted three blocks in a game that likely should not have been close. For meeting a formidable opponent headon and delivering a standout performance regardless of the mismatch, Marathon’s Josh Koler is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

MEET THE 2025 ALL-KEYS SWIMMING & DIVING TEAM This season’s wave-makers showed prowess in the pool

t stands to reason that schools surrounded by water have high-caliber swim teams. Coral Shores and Key West made that clear this year, with both programs producing fantastic results. This season, Monroe County had two district champs: Coral Shores seniors Layne Smith and Aaron Lykins. Both athletes’ performances at regionals gave them the goahead nod to states in Ocala. Key West’s young squads showed dramatic improvement throughout the season, and the school’s long-standing record books required an update when Santiago Gonzalez set a new mark in the 200 freestyle event.

SWIMMER OF THE YEAR

Layne Smith

Larkin Dunn

Layne Smith struck gold at districts, winning the 500 freestyle event and qualifying for regionals in that plus three others. Smith’s performance on the relay teams helped send extra representatives to the meet, and her individual performance at regionals qualified her for the 200 and 500 freestyle events at states. There, Smith cracked the top 20 with a 19th-place finish in the 500 freestyle race.

In her final season with the Hurricanes, Larkin Dunn finished strong, qualifying for regionals in a pair of individual events. Dunn made the cut in the 50 and 100 freestyle events, then swam legs of the team’s 200 free and 200 medley relays to cap off her senior season.

Figueredo is an incredibly versatile swimmer who excels in almost every event.

Though only a sophomore, Parks Dunn qualified for three regional events this season, including the daunting 500 free plus the 200 medley and free relay teams. Dunn’s hard work and dedication, coupled with alreadyexceptional times, make her one to watch in the coming seasons.

Stella Hodder’s strong work ethic is not the only thing that makes her stand out. Hodder is a breaststroke specialist whose times are dropping, and that is just one of the strokes she excels with. The junior qualified for regionals on the Hurricanes’ 400 free relay team and will be back in 2026 for another season of excellence.

MEET THE 2025 ALL-KEYS FOOTBALL TEAM Grit on the gridiron deﬁned this past fall

he 2025 high school football season across the Florida Keys delivered a mix of proven power, growing pains and promising youth. Key West led the way with a 7-5 record and a playoff victory, facing one of the state’s toughest schedules that included two losses to perennial powerhouse Miami Northwestern. The Conchs showcased a loaded offensive arsenal and a rock-solid line, while now preparing to fill some significant roles heading into next season. Coral Shores finished 2-7, highlighted by a win over Marathon in the annual Battle of the Keys, as both the Hurricanes and Dolphins navigated rebuilding seasons with young lineups. Marathon went winless but dressed just five seniors, with multiple freshmen starting on both sides of the ball. Coral Shores also leaned on underclassmen, who began to hit their stride mid-season and show glimpses of what is to come. With momentum building and experience gained, both programs appear poised to take important steps forward in 2026.
