The basketball season, cut short by COVID-19 restrictions, wrapped up at the end of February, just one month after it started. However, judging from the smiles and laughter from the Shelter Island girls varsity basketball team, it mattered little that the season was short and the learning curve steep. The final game was against the Greenport/Southold Porters on Feb. 24. The game started with the appropriate pomp and circumstances. Coach Brian Springer thanked his only senior, Lydia Shepherd for her work and leadership on the team. ....

(Credit: Todd Gulluscio) Valentine’s Day was scheduled as the last meet of the year for the winter track teams. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans. More snow and ice had coated the tracks, so the season-ending Hampton Bays meet had to be canceled. Coach Kevin Barry was philosophical about the abrupt end to the season. “We got four of five meets run,” he said. “Some other schools only ended up with 2 meets.” ....

(Credit: Kaitlyn Gullusico) While extremely cold conditions 19 degrees with a windchill of 10 degrees limited what events were completed, the Shelter Island girls track team put together another gritty performance against host Southampton on Jan. 31. Head to head in the completed competitions, the Islanders bested the Mariners, scoring 22 points to Southampton’s 18. In the field events, Sophie Clark took 2nd place with a 23-foot shot put, while teammate Kaitlyn Gulluscio threw 20 feet, outdistancing her last meet’s throw by 11 inches. The sand pit was frozen solid, so the long and triple jumps were not attempted. ....
Olivia Overstreet competes in the long jump at a meet in Babylon. (Credit: Kaitlyn Gulluscio) Saturday, Jan. 23 was 28 degrees with a windchill of 16 degrees not exactly ideal racing conditions. However, Shelter Island’s girls track team bundled up and made the trip over to Babylon under bright blue skies for their second meet of the season to compete against Babylon and Southold/Greenport. The team had their full roster of nine athletes. Southold had an equal number, while Babylon had 30 girls available. In track, each athlete is limited to three events, so a small team can not enter as many events as a larger school, which makes it difficult to win a meet. Babylon scored 75 points to Shelter Island’s 15, while the Southold/Shelter Island head to head score was quite close at 36 to 32. ....
