The Old Bridge boys finished out their undefeated season in the 4x800m with a national title! Congratulations to Rey Rivera, Ed Zaleck, Gerard D'Ambrosio, and Hazem Miawad.
Now ranked US#4 for this outdoor season Old Bridge hasn't lost a head to head battle in the boys 4x800m since March 15th at Indoor Nationals where they fell just short of All-American status in 7th. They mentioned in an interview at the Grand Prix last weekend that last indoor's "oh so close" finish was a motivating factor for them preparing this spring.
It seems to have worked out well as we run through their 2015 outdoor major titles starting with state season. **They posted three more high level county or invitational level wins before then as well.
