Possibly a microcosm of the overall team battle for the girls Monmouth County Relay Championship title the Red Bank Catholic and Rumson-Fair Haven girls had it out during the very first event, the 4x800m relay, on Friday night. RBC took the win with a state leading 9:40.19 US#5 and Rumson-Fair Haven wasn't too far behind at 9:42.94 for NJ#2 US#10.
In the final team scores RBC would win the meet, their second straight title, with 54.2 points to Rumson's 49.2 total. You can watch their entertaining showdown of a race in the 4x800m above, the final 4x400m event that sealed the team win will be available soon as well on the meet page.
