Twelve Keys athletes make the cut for the FHSAA Track and Field State Championships

Adozen Keys track and field stars are on their way to Jacksonville to compete in the FHSAA State Championships in track and field this week. The runners, throwers, vaulters and jumpers made the cut for the big show at the regional event held at Calvary Christian High School on May 7.

Both 1A and 2A teams competed from a region spanning 300 miles, encompassing teams from Key West to Vero Beach. The athletes had to overcome the typical obstacles such as nagging end-of-season injuries, long travel in cramped vans and the pressure of qualifying for the ultimate goal.

This year’s competitors had another challenge to navigate, as the inclusion of both the 1A and 2A divisions created a backlog of events and forced the day’s schedule to creep later and later into the evening. The meet’s final event, the boys 4x400 relay, was already slated for a late start, but by the time the other events were complete, the 9:45 p.m. start time had moved into the next day, making it a tough day at school for athletes and coaches who rolled back into school parking lots as late as 4:30 a.m.

Key West’s Niks-Davis Suharevskis was undaunted by the late start times and long day of sitting around waiting for the second-biggest event of the year. Suharevskis cleared the bar at 13’3.5”, winning the FHSAA 2A Region 4 title and besting the runner-up by half a foot. The first-place finish secured an automatic spot at states, and the height he cleared ranks him sixth in the state.

Suharevskis has cleared well over that mark in previous competitions, with his best vault of 14’11” placing him in contention for a medal. Teammate Ian Newton’s 11’9.75” vault was fourth in the region, and though only the top two athletes receive a guaranteed spot at states, Newton qualified for one of 18 at-large places and will make the trip to Jacksonville. Anabel Portuondo, the regional runner-up in pole vault, cleared 8’10.25” to secure a trip to Jacksonville.

Jean Louis placed third in the shot put event, throwing for a personal best 47’7”, good enough to qualify for an at-large bid. Shane Lavallee was third with a 151’5” toss of the javelin. The mark Lavallee set at regionals places him in the middle of the heap at states, but his best throw, 164’11”, puts him in contention for a medal. The same goes for Noah Mercer in discus and Audrey Smith in javelin. Mercer’s fourthplace throw into the wind at regionals traveled 134’5”, about

4 feet shy of his personal best. If he can match or exceed his own top throw, Mercer, too, is in contention for a medal at states. Smith’s 98’10” javelin throw was 25 feet short of her best mark. Smith placed 11th at regionals and despite a strong headwind, Region 4 grabbed half of the 18 at-large spots at states. Smith’s personal best could land her on the podium.

Marathon had five athletes qualify for the state meet. Two earned automatic bids by securing second place in the region. Sophomore Dolphin vaulter Ava Merryman found herself in a dead tie for second place at the end of the pole vault competition. The tie resulted in a jump-off, in which Merryman prevailed to secure her second trip to states in as many years. Her 8’10.25” second-place vault is half a foot off her previous best, which occurred during her seventh-place finish at the state meet last season. Should she match that mark, she could medal again.

Marathon’s best chance for a medal comes from a competitor seasoned in the pressures of state-level performances. Sophomore Justice Lee broke her own personal best and set a new school record throwing the shot put into the wind for a second-place regional medal. Lee is ranked sixth in the state heading into the championships.

Earning an at-large bid was senior Mason Buxton. Buxton qualified with his third-place javelin throw, which landed 11 feet short of his personal best. Like Key West’s throwers, Buxton could medal if he matches his best toss. Fellow senior Kayesha Christian placed seventh at regionals with a 16’5.35” long jump. Christian has jumped 17’2” as recently as April, giving her a shot at a medal to end her senior campaign in style.

Marathon’s final state qualifier is the only Keys athlete to make the cut in two events and the only athlete to earn a lane on the track. Mikail Marshall broke a pair of his own school records, finishing the 100-meter race in 11 seconds flat and the 200 in 22.66. The speedy junior captured seventh and ninth place in the fastest region in Florida, qualifying for both events with at-large bids.

Marathon competed at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville on May 15 (results not available at press time). Key West competes the following day.

CHIEFS KNOCK CONCHS OUT OF CONTENTION

Cardinal Gibbons edges Key West in semifinals

Key West dug deep on May 8 to stay alive in the quest for state championship number 12. The Conchs secured the home-field advantage despite being ranked beneath the Jensen Beach Falcons in FHSAA 4A baseball. Key West played one of the most challenging schedules in the country, priming the team for the postseason.

Coach Ralph Henriquez gave Anthony Lariz the start for Key West. The senior pitcher has performed well under pressure multiple times this season, and May 8 was no different. Lariz struck out the first three batters to set the tone in the top of the first. The Conchs were in good position to get on the board in inning one, during which Caden Pichardo was hit by a pitch and both Lariz and Steel Mientkiewicz singled, but the game remained scoreless until inning three. Jensen Beach held a 1-0 lead until Key West tied it up in the fifth. Nelson Ong was hit by a pitch and took his base, then made his way around via a Mientkiewicz sacrifice bunt and a Jensen Beach error fielding another bunt by Pichardo. Luck, it seemed, was with the Conchs in the regional semifinal contest.

But in inning six, things looked to fall apart for Key West. Lariz handed the ball off to Jacob Burnham following coach Henriquez’s piggyback pitching system. A walk placed a Falcon on base, then a ground out and an intentional walk put him in scoring position. Another hit scored 1, followed by a line-out, giving the Falcons out number two. With two runners on, a Jensen Beach batter sent a fly ball into right field, and before the Conchs could make the final out, 2 more Falcon runs scored, making the game 4-1 in favor of Jensen Beach as the game reached the final stretch.

Key West sent three batters to the plate in inning six and the Jensen Beach defense dispatched them quickly.

Then it was Burnham’s turn to do the dispatching. The senior southpaw struck out the first two batters and his defense took care of the third to give the Conchs one final shot at advancing, and the luck was again with Key West, which was at the top of their batting order. Nelson Ong walked, but was put out on his way to second after a Mientkiewicz single. Roman Garcia, whose bat has been magic all season for Key West, doubled, scoring 1 run. Pichardo and Lariz walked, loading the bases for Sam Holland, whose single scored another. Noah Burnham then grounded out, but not before Pichardo scored to tie the game and make it a nail-biter. In part of their error-free performance, the Conchs’ defense sent three batters back to the dugout, and the game went into extra innings.

Now facing an overtime playoff situation, the Conchs’ offense, seasoned with the toughest schedule in 4A and a history of high expectations, went to work. Nelson Ong doubled on a line drive to center field. Mientkiewicz connected for his third hit of the game, a single that advanced Ong to third. The Falcons then walked Garcia, loading the bases for Pichardo and hoping for an easier out. The gamble, likely made from Pichardo’s batting average and not his on-base percentage, did not pay off for the Falcons. Pichardo’s gift for making it to base and his willingness to not bail on a 90-plusmph fastball sent the Conchs to the regional semifinals.

Pichardo started and ended his night reaching base the hard way.

Mientkiewicz had 3 hits, a sacrifice bunt and was hit by a pitch.

Holland had a pair of hits and an RBI while Garcia and Ong each doubled and Lariz added a single to his stats. The Lariz/Burnham machine struck out 11 batters, walked 4 and gave up just 2 hits in the victory.

The Conchs then faced even greater odds in their next matchup. Top-seeded Cardinal Gibbons stood between Key West and the FHSAA 4A Region 4 championship game, and though a seventh-inning rally brought the Conchs within reach, Key West will need to wait another season for a chance at title number 12.

Gibbons struck first in the bottom of the first; the Conchs tied it up in the second. The teams scored 1 apiece in inning four before Gibbons took the lead in the fifth, then pulled ahead 6-2 in inning six. In what should have been insurmountable odds against the top team in region 4, Key West found a little more magic in their final at-bat.

With one away, Noah Burnham reached base on an error, then advanced when Jose Perdigon walked. Auggy Davila hit a hard line drive to right field, scoring Burnham and advancing Perdigon. Gibbons changed their pitcher, much to the delight of Nelson Ong, who singled to left field to load the bases. Mientkiewicz doubled, scoring 2 runs and advancing Ong to third. Garcia was intentionally walked in what looked like a replay of the quarterfinal game against Jensen Beach. With Pichardo up to bat, the Gibbons pitcher sent in a wild pitch, scoring Ong with the tying run, then elected to intentionally walk Pichardo.

With the bases loaded yet again and still only one out for the Conchs, Lariz put the ball in play. Gibbons turned a double play to end the inning, but not before Mientkiewicz scored, giving Key West the lead with just three outs between them and the regional championship game.

With Key West up 7-6, the collective hopes of all baseball fans from Key Largo to Key West rested on the shoulders of the Conchs. But the storybook ending was not meant to be for the southernmost team, as a pair of uncharacteristic errors, a single, a hit batter and a wild pitch pulled the plug on Key West’s season. Cardinal Gibbons scored a walkoff run to end the game 8-7.

The 15-14 Conchs will begin the arduous process of regrouping and reloading for what will undoubtedly be an equally exciting 2024-25 season. Garcia, Pichardo and Ong each had a pair of hits with Mientkiewicz, Davila and Perdigon adding 1 each to their final stats of the season. In all, four Conchs shared pitching duties, beginning with Burnham, who struck out 3 over four innings, keeping the game close before retiring to the dugout. Felix Ong, Vinnie Moline and Christian Koppal pitched in for the remaining three innings.

His second-place finish qualified him for his second state championship appearance. Last season, he captured a fifth-place medal at 220 pounds; this year he did the same at 285. Riche amassed an impressive 45-8 record and led his team by example, putting in the work to be one of the best wrestlers in Conch history.

Key West brought home its 15th consecutive district championship in 2024 with eight individual wrestlers striking gold and all 13 athletes qualifying for regionals. Four wrestlers made an appearance at state and one athlete medaled at the event, further solidifying the dynasty Key West wrestling has become.

Arguello was the Lady Indian Invitational champion and won first place at the Beardown Duals, going undefeated in her matches.

Key West’s Dost Bakhtiyorov secured a district championship this season, then placed fourth at regionals. The senior’s performance there qualified him for the state championship meet. This season, he amassed a 44-15 record, which included wins in the Key West Invitational, where he was third, and the Beardown Duals, which he won in undefeated fashion.

Key West’s Sheyla Figueira is the only Lady Conch to qualify for the state meet two times. The talented junior won silver at districts, bronze at regionals, and went 19-12 this season.

ROAD ENDS IN REGIONAL QUARTERFINALS FOR FINS, CONCHS

Keys softball teams out of the hunt for state titles

The Keys’ softball teams will have to wait until next spring for another shot at state glory.

The Lady Conchs found themselves again facing St. Brendan School on May 9 after an 8-3 loss to the Sabres six days earlier. Key West got on the board first when Alexa Condella singled, allowing Shylo Sanchez, who had reached base on an error, to score. St. Brendan tied it up in their at-bat, then Key West reclaimed the lead off a pair of hits from Tavyn Gage and Skye Sterling.

The Sabres tied it up again in the bottom of the second, then pulled ahead in the third. In the top of the fourth, Gage registered her second hit of the game to start the inning, eventually scoring on a sacrifice fly by Alexandra Rodriguez to tie it up. The score remained 3-3 until the bottom of the seventh, when a walk and a pair of hits scored a Sabre runner, ending the game and the season for the Lady Conchs. Rodriguez and Gage had 2 hits each in the loss. Alexa Condella and Scarlet Niles had 1 apiece to make it 6 hits for Key West. Four errors cost the Conchs in the 4-3 loss. Breanna Breener fanned 6, walking 4 and giving up 4 runs in another solid pitching performance from the freshman. Five Lady Conchs graduate this year, leaving some holes in the roster for Key West, who will attempt to reclaim their district and regional titles again in 2025.

Marathon earned an at-large bid to the FHSAA 2A Region 4 softball tournament, stretching their season by one game. Like Key West, the Fins found themselves facing Miami Christian for the second time in as many games. Marathon was without their starting pitcher against the top-ranked team in the region. Miami Christian went on to officially end Marathon’s season by defeating them 17-0. The 12-6 Dolphins return to action next season with a nearly complete bench, as they will only lose senior Allison Garcia to graduation this year.

Tavyn Gage and the Key West Lady Conchs will look forward to a return to playoff action next season. MAICEY MALGRAT/Keys Weekly
