The Hills West girls indoor track team had a strong day of competition this season at the Stanner Games, delivering several standout performances against elite competition. Jasmin Joseph led the way with an outstanding showing in the triple jump. Not only did she win the event, but she also set a new school record and a Suffolk County best mark with a leap of 38 feet, 3 inches. The performance marked a major milestone for Joseph, who continues to elevate her level of competition.
Last season, Joseph ranked third on Long Island in the triple jump with an outdoor best of 36 feet, 7 inches, making this latest result a significant improvement. Teammate Abigail Oyeleye also impressed in the same event, placing fourth with a jump of 36 feet, 1.5 inches. The pair provided valuable points and momentum for the Hills West squad.
Hills West also found success on the track, as the 4x55-meter shuttle hurdle relay team of Surena Lewis, Katerina Pappas, Sophia Livan, and Riya Ramki earned a third-place finish. Their strong coordination and clean exchanges helped secure a podium result in a highly competitive field.
This impressive showing came just weeks after another strong performance at the Bishop Loughlin Games held at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex. At that meet, Joseph and Oyeleye placed second and fourth in the triple jump with season-best marks of 36 feet, 1.5 inches and 35 feet, 10 inches, respectively. Surena Lewis finished second in the sophomore 55-meter hurdles, while Alyssa Bullen, Abigail Oyeleye, Jasmin Joseph, Jordan Pierre, Kaylah Lyte, and Surena Lewis competed in the 4x200-meter relay, qualifying for the finals and finishing seventh overall. Together, these results highlight a promising and competitive season for the Hills West girls indoor track program. The team continues building confidence, depth, and championship aspirations this winter.
