Diane O’Donnell, who coaches East Hampton High School’s girls track team, expects to take Ashley West, a versatile junior runner, and Lena Vergnes, a sophomore racewalker who is closing in on Kathy Piacentine’s record in that event, to the state qualifier meet that’s to be held tomorrow and Saturday at Port Jefferson High School.
“Lena was our sole scorer in the division meet,” O’Donnell reported Friday, “placing fourth over all in 7:45.09.”

Graham’s 800
Mike Graham now tops the 800-series list at East Hampton Bowl. The former all-state bowler recently put together 300, 259, and 257 games for L.W. Winslow Painting in the Tuesday night businessmen’s league to achieve the feat. Graham is the only one at the Bowl who has rolled two 800-plus series. It was his fifth 300, though he’s got a ways to go to catch his father, Steve, who has 11 perfect games to his credit.

Last year, its inaugural one, East Hampton High School’s boys swimming team made a promising splash, winning a couple of meets and losing a couple of others by narrow margins.
This season, with about half the team now made up of Pierson students — the three Whaler returnees, Peter Skerys, Adam Heller, and Jeremy Pepper, having recruited four or five fellow Whalers — the team, according to its head coach, Jeff Thompson, and a volunteer assistant, Craig Brierley, should be even better.
