Interscholastic athletics are an integral part of the educational process of the Westhampton Beach School District. Athletics should be a broadening experience in which mind - body harmony is created by striving for physical and mental excellence. Westhampton Beach's aim is to develop a competitive athletic program without losing sight of educational values such as sportsmanship, health and scholastic attainment. It is the nature of athletic competition to strive for victory. However, the number of victories is only one criterion when determining the success of a season. Guiding the team to achieve its maximum potential is the ultimate goal. To this end, the coaching staff teaches student athletes to prepare their minds and bodies and to be modest in victory and steadfast in defeat.

The Westhampton Beach Hurricanes have a high participation rate in a well-rounded program of individual and team sports. Westhampton Beach offers sports that include varsity, junior varsity and modified programs for students in grades seven through twelve. Our teams and student-athletes have distinguished themselves with winning records and championships in the Section XI, and New York State competitions. Many teams have been recognized for their combined grade-point average through the NYSPHSAA team Scholar-Athlete program.

We wish all our teams a safe and healthy season. Go Canes!

Westhampton Beach athlete earns All-American title

Westhampton Beach athlete earns All-American title thumbnail249329

Westhampton Beach High School’s star runner Trevor Hayes earned an All-American title following his stellar performance at the Nike nationals at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon. To acquire the title, Hayes took fifth place out of a field of 48 runners in the 2000-meter steeplechase.

“I feel very fortunate to have qualified just to compete in the Nike National Championships and to have earned a spot on the podium which included High School All- American status,” said Hayes following the race.

To earn his invitational at nationals, Hayes was required to run a qualifying time in the steeplechase at previous competitions.

Hayes started running in eighth grade after earning an All-County award in tennis as a seventh grader. Since committing to running, Hayes has received multiple All-County, All-League and All-State recognition in all three seasons of competitive running – cross-country and indoor and outdoor track. He also qualified for the Nike National Outdoor Championships in 2021, 2022 and 2023 in both the steeplechase and one-mile run.

Looking forward, Hayes hopes that the Hurricanes cross-country team can galvanize its efforts and reclaim the Suffolk County Class B championship. He also has his sights set on placing in the top three at the NYSPHSAA cross-country championships and the end of the season.
