Shelter Island 10K

    Joan Benoit Samuelson, Bill Rodgers, Kim Jones, and Jon Sinclair are expected to return to Shelter Island Saturday for the 32nd Shelter Island 10K, which is to start in front of the high school at 5:30 p.m.

    Last year, the Ethiopian-born Alene Reta ran the 6.2-mile road course in a record-breaking 28 minutes and 40 seconds, besting the mark he set there in 2007 by one second, and winning $3,000 all told. Anzhelika Averkova’s 34:49 in the women’s masters division was also a record.

Softball Summary

    The East Hampton High School softball team lost a first-round playoff game at Kings Park last Thursday as Lindsay Taylor, who recently broke Jessie Stavola’s career strikeout record (though Stavola took four years to amass her total, while it took Taylor five), struck out 13 during the course of a 7-0 one-hitter.

    Casey Waleko, who gave up a two-run homer in a four-run fourth inning and a homer in a three-run fifth, was the losing pitcher. Sam Mathews finished up.

    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.”

Ross now has three county champions — Lee and Reis, and Nadia Smergut, who won the county’s girls singles title last fall.

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.

Ruggers Win Again

    The Montauk Rugby Club, with the addition of Conner Miller, who, according to Charlie Collins, “looked like he’d been playing for years,” defeated Hudson Valley 24-15 on Saturday.

    The game also featured the first tries to be scored by Brian Anderson and Scott Abran. Jarrel Walker, a former professional arena football player, was the man of the match because of his “tenacious defense and overpowering physical play.”

The news was uniformly good for Pierson High School’s varsity baseball and softball teams this past week. As of Monday, the boys stood...

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.

Vinny Alversa, Bonac’s coach, used four pitchers against Shoreham-Wading River, a perennial baseball power from which a couple of major leaguers have come, and all four pitched well.
