The overall Dartmouth Relays meet title was on the line in the 4x800m relay when La Salle Academy (RI) and Bishop Hendricken (RI) took the track Saturday night.
La Salle Academy was up 64 to 62 against in-state rivals Bishop Hendricken. Both teams had squads entered in the final event, the 4x800m relay.
If Bishop Hendricken won they would be co-champions with La Salle Academy if La Salle Academy won they would take home the sole Dartmouth Relays team champions title.
The race was neck-in-neck all the way to the line but in the end, La Salle senior Joe dosReis would pull away from Hendricken sophomore Evan Reynolds. The two teams would finish only about three seconds apart in 8:09.91 and 8:11.72.
