Oliver, an Eastern Michigan football signee, closed his varsity track career with the top prize in his discipline. Oliver won the triple jump in six of his eight meets this season, including the Palm Beach County Championship.
The biggest surprise of the meet may have come in the boys sprints as Cardinal Newman senior Zamarii Sanders was shut out of state championship glory for the first time since his freshman season in 2023.
Sanders, a six-time state champion, took third in the 100-meter sprint despite winning the final seeded heat of the event. Palatka's Kedric Wright Jr. won the event with a time of 10.60, edging Sanders by .06 seconds. Sanders did not start the 200-meter sprint and Newman's 4x100-meter relay team took third place.
