Two of the top three 4x800 meter relay teams in the country went to battle on the track today in Toms River, NJ. This time round the Hopewell Valley boys emerged victorious with a time of 8:02.72. Morris Hills crossed the line second at 8:03.50 and Christian Brothers Academy ran a season best time of 8:06.16 NJ#8.
The Hopewell Valley squad of Will Titus 2:02.5, Teddy Meredith 1:59.4, Tim Dolan 2:04.1, and Sean Dolan 1:56.9 ran their way to a venue record at the John Bennett Indoor Complex. Their time of 8:02.72 out performing the previous standard of 8:03.15 held by Morris Hills since last season. They stated this has been an event they've concentrated on all season and that hard work is paying off.
The even more promising part of this successful crew is that they will all return next year, a mix of only sophomores and juniors.
