A Conch tradition continued on April 24, with the annual Junior/Senior Field Day competition at Key West High School. The two classes competed in sport and spirit contests.

It was a dizzying day, literally, of sports and school spirit at Key West High School on April 24, when the junior and senior classes competed in their annual Field Day events.

Events included everything from a tug-of-war and touch football to a three-legged race and that crazy obstacle course that starts when each player spins around with their head on a baseball bat and then veers off sideways (or falls down).

The Class of 2026 dominated, as the seniors bested the juniors with a score of 89-43. But at the end of the day, the classes came together as the Conchs they all are.
