Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, JAnuARy 16, 2026 Eveillard, Nunez smash records to lead their Tide boys indoor track teammates in the annual state coaches meet By Joe McConnell he Everett High School indoor track teams met up with their state counterparts in the annual Massachusetts State Track Coaches Association (MSTCA) Meet, which took place at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center in Roxbury during the second weekend of the new year. T “Our athletes ran personal bests (all over the place) that included two school records throughout this popular invitational meet,” said coach Jehu Cimea. Senior captain Kayshaun Eveillard didn’t waste any time to get back into the swing of things after recovering from an injury. “(Eveillard) had an amazing performance,” Cimea said after the state coaches meet. “He broke his own school record in the 300 on the first day to finish third among his state’s peers in 35.59 seconds, which was considerably less than his previous best of 36.14. He then finished second in the 200 (22.52) the very next day, which was another personal best. By the end of that weekend, Kayshaun moved up to third in Division 2 in the 300, or seventh overall in the entire state. He’s also No. 1 in the GBL (Greater Boston League).” It was then time for senior captain Lucas Nunez to make his mark in this meet. “(Nunez) also had a great weekend,” said Cimea. “He broke the school record in the 1,000 with a time of 2:46.95. The previous record was 2:47.28, which was set by Aimen Salih in 2018. Lucas then ran a personal best in the 800 the next day, finishing up at 2:09.41.” Nunez came in 25th throughout the state in the 800, and 30th in the 1,000.
