Preston Sangely was the standout of the day, sweeping the regional championships in the 800, 1,600, and 3,200 meters. His versatility and endurance were on full display, as he outpaced competitors in each distance event. With these wins, Sangely heads into the state championships at Florida State next weekend as a top contender, ready to challenge for more hardware.

Not to be outshone, Preston's brother Casey Sangely finished as runner-up in both the 1,600 and 3,200 meters, showing the depth of talent in the Sangely family. In the 1,600-meter race, Preston clocked an impressive 4:24.18, while Casey followed closely at 4:25.38.

On the girls' side, newcomer Alba Altunez-Perez, who hails from Spain, made a powerful statement. She led the Sharks with a series of strong performances, adding to the team's overall success and proving that Spanish River's track program is a force to be reckoned with in both boys' and girls' events.
