On May 13, seven Keys elementary schools traveled to the Key West High School track to compete at the annual fifth grade track meet held by Key West’s Masonic Lodge No. 64. Horace O’Bryant, Poinciana, Gerald Adams, Grace Lutheran, Basilica School, Sugarloaf and Stanley Switlik brought their best athletes to toe the line in the 60, 100 and 400 meter dashes, 4x100m relay, softball throw, standing broad jump and tug of war.
Gerald Adams Elementary School won the overall top trophy, taller than many of the competitors, for the third year in a row, making a nice departing gesture for longtime principal Fran Herrin, who will retire at the end of the school year. The event was Herrin’s 35th. Sugarloaf School was the runner-up and Stanley Switlik traveled the farthest, bringing an entire cheering section to help the school’s squad claim the sportsmanship award.
