For many swimmers, the 500 freestyle event is a bit too grueling. For Coral Shores senior Layne Smith, it’s merely a warmup. The Hurricanes’ golden girl swam away with a district championship last week, and her dedication to the sport gives her an advantage heading into regionals.
“Her year-round training and commitment has led to her success in the pool this season,” said ’Canes coach Kelly Owens. “We are excited to see what she can do at regionals this week.” Smith will compete in four races at regionals with the hope of punching her card to the state event in early November.
Smith’s district championship medal in the 500 free pairs nicely with her silver district medal in the 200 freestyle race. And if competing in the longest race of the day, plus a second individual event, was not enough, Smith will swim a leg on two Hurricane relay events to showcase her prowess in the pool. For her dedication to the sport of swimming and fearsome competitive spirit, Coral Shores’ Layne Smith is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

golf closes out regular season in Key West
The weather swamped one final match this season for Keys golfers who were forced to miss an Oct. 20 match in Marathon, but athletes managed to squeak in nine holes later in the week. Key West won the final round of the regular season on their home course on Oct. 22, outshooting Marathon 177-180. Jakub Krytinar won the match to give a boost to the Conchs’ team scorecard. Krytinar shot a 40, finishing five above par and giving the sophomore some confidence as he and the rest of the teams head into districts this week. Finishing one stroke behind was Coral Shores’ Scout Oliver, then Key West’s Mason Titensor shot a 42 to claim third place.
Marathon’s Jackson Millard, Emmett Merryman, Luca Picariello and Max Childress finished at 45 in a four-way tie for fourth place. Geo Twyman of Key West, Sawyer Hedrix of Coral Shores and Chad Stolka of Key West completed the top 10.

LYKINS, SMITH STRIKE GOLD AT DISTRICTS
30 Keys athletes head to regionals
The Coral Shores swimming and diving program swam away with a pair of district champions last week. Aaron Lykins defended his FHSAA 1A District 12 title in the 1-meter diving competition, earning an automatic bid to regionals in the process. Joining Lykins as a district champ is Layne Smith. Smith won silver at districts last season in the 500 freestyle event and took her place at the top of the podium with first place this year.
Smith’s performance in that event ensured a trip to regionals, and the senior distance specialist will need to tap into that stamina to compete in three more events. She also qualified in the 200 freestyle individual race, in which she placed second at districts, as well as the 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay teams.
Joining Smith on relay teams will be Parks Dunn, Larkin Dunn and Sofia Figueredo. The girls placed fourth in the relay events. Figueredo will be busy as well, after qualifying for a pair of individual races. She was third in the 200 individual medley (IM) and fifth in the 100 breaststroke events. Larkin Dunn sprinted to a fourth-place district finish in the 50 freestyle race and Parks Dunn went the distance in the 500 free race, taking eighth place and claiming a spot at regionals.
Sofia Jackson, Mae Turner, Mackenzie Borguss and Stella Hodder teamed up in the 400 freestyle
relay and finished sixth at districts. Their time qualified the team for regionals to round out the girls’ qualifying members.
Joining Lykins on the boys team at regionals will be Mark Porter, Mason Osipov, Jace Jackson and Tony Khioni. The crew placed third in the 200 free relay and fifth in the 400 freestyle relay, qualifying for regionals in both races.
The Conchs will also have plenty of representation at regionals after Key West’s strong performances at the FHSAA 2A Region 4 District 12 Championships. Qualifying for regionals on the girls’ side are three relay teams. All three placed fourth and qualified for the next round of competition. The 200 medley crew of Mary Searcy, Amelia Korzen, Colbie Turner and Aly Camargo started things off. Korzen, Camargo, Molly Martinez and Christina Rice qualified in the 200 freestyle relay. Rice and Martinez then teamed up with Morgan Kennedy and Taylor Thomason in the 400 freestyle relay.
Rice and Camargo also qualified individually in the 50 freestyle event. At districts, Rice placed fourth while Camargo was sixth. Both will represent the Southernmost City at regionals. Rice also earned a lane in the 100 freestyle race with her quick fifth-place finish at districts to make it four events for the freshman. Thomason was ninth in the 200 IM at districts with a time-qualifying

regional bid and Korzen’s fifth-place finish in the 100 breaststroke event gave her a third event for regionals.
The Conch boys also qualified for regionals in all three relay events. The 200 medley team of Wesley Farrer, Andres Aguero, Kieran Smith and Hugo Blinckmann placed fourth at districts. Max Blinckmann, John Picco, Jacob Perez and Santiago Gonzalez earned bids to regionals with their thirdplace 400 freestyle relay finish. In the 200 freestyle relay, both Blinckmanns, Gonzalez and Sebastian Camargo placed fifth.
Multiple Conchs also qualified in individual races with quick times in their respective events. Hugo Blinckmann earned lanes in the 50 freestyle and 100 breaststroke races. The multitalented junior placed sixth and ninth in the events at districts. Santiago Gonzalez will also be busy at regionals. Gonzalez was fifth in the 200 free and sixth in the 100 free events. Aguero’s seventhplace 200 IM finish was quick enough to qualify for regionals, as was Kieran Smith’s 10th-place finish in the 100 breaststroke race.
Coral Shores will compete at NSU University School Oct. 31 for its regional event. The Conchs race the following day at Gulliver Prep. Athletes who qualify for states will make the big trip to Ocala the following week.

FULL RETREAT
Conchs send Generals home reeling from 54-6 loss
Key West used a lopsided first half against the Generals of Miami Jackson to get their bench some valuable experience last week. “The clock was running in the second quarter,” said Key West coach Johnny Hughes. His Conchs pulled ahead by more than 35 points, the differential which determines whether the clock will run normally or stop far less frequently to move along a game with an obvious outcome.
Stepping up prior to the changing of the guard were Key West’s deadliest weapons: Jeff Dejean, Walson Morin and Leo Batista. Dejean rushed for 93 yards on five carries, crossing the goal line three times. Morin picked up 91 yards on seven carries, scoring once on the ground before reeling in a 16yard pass from Roman Van Loon for another TD in the air. Batista, who typically lays the groundwork for the rest of the backfield by delivering devastating blocks, had three carries for 55 yards and one TD.
At the half, Hughes was able to change out his backfield, which produced similar results. Tristan Rodriguez, who impressed Hughes defensively, also earned a pair of carries, one of which was good for a score, and freshman Nick Talpaz accounted for another TD.
Defensively, Hughes said, “Reef Guyet has really come on.” At corner, Guyet has come up with some big pass breakups despite lining up against much taller receivers in many cases. Hughes also pointed out exceptional defensive play from Batista, Kaine Dickerson and Noah Mercer. Mercer broke a 22-year Conch record in the win by racking up an incredible 11th sack this season.
Mercer is not the only Conch doing big things. Morin led Florida’s 3A division in rushing yards last week and is currently second after a second-half rest against Jackson. Morin has 1,249 yards for the Conchs this season, which puts him at No. 12 in the entire state for all divisions. Dejean is 12th in 3A rushing, and ranked 10th last week. Dejean has 847 yards and with a breakout game this week could break into quadruple digits. The pair are first and second in the team’s district.
Coral Shores made a trip to Naples to take on the Celtics of St. John Neumann on Oct. 24. What they faced when they arrived was what head coach Ed Holly described as “the best team I’ve played since 2011.”
Despite seeing athletes across the line of scrimmage who outweighed the Hurricanes by 100 pounds in some cases, Holly was proud of how his team handled the adversity in the 58-0 loss.
“They didn’t quit. They didn’t back down,” he said. “They were chomping at the bit to get in and play.”
Holly had a lot of praise for Casey Konrad, who was pitted against a UM commit. “I was so proud of him. He gave us a tremendous effort all night,” said Holly, adding that Konrad, the ’Canes center, also stepped up to long snap in his final game wearing a Coral Shores jersey. Holly also noted that Kristers Vutnans made big plays on special teams, describing the senior’s four-year transformation for the team as exceptional.
Also earning praise were Will Roberts and Nick Calderon, who played offense, defense and special teams the entire game. Roberts “covered D1 guys on offense, then turned

around and covered D1 guys on special teams,” said Holly. Calderon, meanwhile, “did not leave the field. He played every single snap of that game.”
Holly went on to describe his seniors as “absolute warriors” for the effort they gave, despite the score differential.
The Hurricanes’ season ended in Naples, as the team’s bye week comes in Week 11 and the Florida Independent Football Conference determines its winner by schedule and not with a playoff bracket.
The Dolphins were off last week, but return to action in what will be their final game on Oct. 31. The Fins will play Pine Crest School in a game scheduled for 1 p.m. to accommodate Pine Crest’s travel. The early kickoff allows Marathon’s student body to attend and cheer on the team. Key West faces University Christian, who will travel from Jacksonville to play four quarters of football in the Southernmost City. The contest is crucial for the Conchs, who are hoping to sway the razor-thin rankings in their favor to garner a home playoff game.
Coral Shores coach Ed Holly praised seniors Casey Konrad, top, Nick Calderon, Will Roberts and Kristers Vutnans this week.

Countdown to districts underway for Keys runners
TAKING THEIR MARKS
Runners from three local high schools toed the line for the Sugarloaf Trail cross country race on Oct. 21. Marathon’s Antonin Bursa claimed first place with a time of 18:27.
Teammate Allan Taylor was next, finishing in 19 minutes flat; then it was Key West senior Prometheus Delacerda in third, with a time of 19:27. In fourth was Marathon’s Caleb Shelar, followed by a trio of Conchs: Sawyer Hill, Alejandro Caridad and Owen Fisher were fifth through seventh. Victor Balmaceda was first for Basilica School, in eighth place overall, while Colin Palomino and Charlie Delashmit, a pair of Conchs, rounded out the top 10.
In the girls race, Molly Joly was first. The Marathon seventhgrader finished the course in 24:33. Emma Bradshaw, Violet Jangraw and Ryah Bushey of Key West were second through fourth; then Dolphins Mylana Loza, Danaica Bessy and Kayla Skaarup were fifth through seventh. Key West’s Yaretzy Marquez and Brenda Chirino of Marathon completed the field of finishers.
Three days later, the Fins were back in action, this time in Miami. A total of 27 teams participated in the 305 Classic cross country meet at Larry & Penny Thompson Park on Oct. 24. Two of those teams were Marathon and Coral Shores.
The Dolphins pulled off an eighth-place finish despite racing without their top runner. Freshman Lucian Burns is sidelined with a stress fracture, which may affect the remainder of his season. The rest of the team picked up the pace to make up for the missing link to their success this season. Antonin Bursa was first for the Fins, placing fifth overall in 17:51. Caleb Shelar and Allan Taylor each broke the 20-minute barrier, running the race in 19:06 and 19:47, respectively. Anthony Vargas, Thomas Torres and Cameron Coletti rounded out the top five spots for the Dolphins.
Coral Shores finished in the middle of the pack, claiming 14th place with Jamie Cary leading the charge. Cary crossed the line in 19:09, followed by Tristan Sanchez, Garrett Gomila, Tristan Rios and Adrik Gadea.
The Hurricanes, led by sophomore Ali Wheatley, finished fifth of 18 teams in the girls competition. Wheatley was fourth overall, crossing the line in 21:06. Kate King was next for the ’Canes, crossing in
24:03. Olive Welch, Tess Hill and Hayden Teal rounded out the top five spots, all finishing under 27 minutes. Marathon did not bring enough girls to qualify for a team, but Mylana Loza, Danaica Bessy, Ariella Dworniczak and Kayla Skaarup got in some great training prior to districts.
Up next for Keys runners is the Oct. 30 Junior Orange Bowl race in Miami, then it’s off to districts. Marathon runs at Boca Raton’s South County Regional Park on Nov. 4 while Key West and Coral Shores race two days later at Larry & Penny Thompson Park in Miami.

FINISH LINE
Conchs’ season ends with playoff push
Key West volleyball closed out a strong season on Oct. 22 with a loss to the Bears of Mater Lakes in the FHSAA 4A Region 4 quarterfinals. Though the outcome was not what the team hoped for, head coach Kim Butler had nothing but praise for her squad, who earned their spot in the playoff bracket with a strong season full of highcaliber opponents.
“They really showed up and played hard,” said Butler of the Lady Conchs’ play last week. “I was so proud of how they bounced back from the district finals. They battled, showed that they belonged there and can play some really nice volleyball, and the entire team played well.”
While the team played some of its best volleyball of the season, the opponents were formidable. The Bears’ team average serve percentage was over 97%, and the Mater lineup included a pair of hitters who
amassed 27 kills between them.
But Key West had some weapons of their own, which they unleashed against the Bears.
three while
“Gabby Garcia had her best match of the season," said Butler. Garcia had nine kills, three digs and a block and was credited with phenomenal passing in her final match as a Conch. The senior captain ended her prep volleyball career on a high note, as did teammates Tess Wright, Audrey Smith and Adriana Heinrichs, who had four kills apiece. Heinrichs also added a dozen digs to her stats. Journey Lamb amassed 15 digs while Molly McKnight registered 10 assists and eight digs. Dianeza Gonzalez was credited with seven digs.
Key West was the only Monroe County team to advance to regionals this season. Their 16-12 record includes many tournament matches against some of the best competition in the state.

EXTRA INNINGS
Baseball programs use fall ball to stay game-ready year-round
Baseball season does not officially open for months, but many athletes across Florida enjoy an extra fall ball season. Travel team players use the extra reps to improve their skills for their official spring high school teams.
“Our fall program is designed to give our young players opportunities to gain experience, get at-bats and log innings,” said Conchball coach Ralphie Henriquez. “We do not keep official stats – the results are not our focus at this stage. Our priority is development, teaching and the growth of each player.”
Henriquez’s 16U Conchball team made the short trip to Marathon on Oct. 21 to play a friendly fall baseball game against the Pro-Form 305 17U squad, whose roster includes players from the Middle Keys, coached in part by Marathon’s Joey Gonzalez.
“These fall games are extremely important for both programs as they give the baseball players from the Middle and Lower Keys the opportunity to compete in a more flexible and informal game setting and work on their craft before the spring high school baseball season,” Gonzalez said.
The matchup saw talent from both squads, especially on the mound. Pro-Form 305’s Dylan Williams and Jack Chapman combined for five innings of work and Conchball’s Tyrone Cervantes threw two scoreless innings.
The fall programs provide more than just extra at-bats; they allow teams to build camaraderie and develop positive relationships among programs, athletes and coaches.
“It was a lot of fun and a great atmosphere, and we look forward to a continued baseball relationship between Pro-Form 305 and Conchball for many off-seasons to come,” said Gonzalez.
