Not even a mid-race collision in the shuttle hurdles could stop the Randolph track team.
On the second leg of the race, sophomore Rachael Verrone collided with a hurdles crew volunteer after clearing the second barrier. The student was attempting to fix a hurdle that was knocked askew during the race and didn't get off the track in time.

``I was worried because I didn't want to touch a hurdle (with her hands) and get disqualified, Verrone said. ``I just had to get back into it and not give up.
Verrone composed herself quickly and finished her leg, which allowed Kara Schneider and junior anchor Briana Feldhaus to catch Butler and Morris Hills and win the race in 1:05.65.

It was that kind of day for Randolph, which made the most of its scoring opportunities and seized its first team title in three years at the 35th Morris County Relay Championships yesterday in Denville.

Randolph, which also won the 4x100-meter relay and scored in nine of 16 events, totaled 66 points and claimed its third title in six years. Madison won five field events and scored 55 points to secure second place, the best finish in the programs history.

``This was a long time coming for us, Feldhaus said. ``We all wanted this so badly. You could just tell, the way everyone worked so hard. Rachael crashed into somebody in the hurdles and kept going. I'm so proud of her.

The only negative to come out of the Randolph camp was that the shuttle hurdles foursome of Justine Ameye, Verrone, Schneider and Feldhaus missed their intended target of the meet record, which was 1:04.11, set by Hanover Park last sprint.

Michelle Kusik, Rachel Palacio, Justine Ameye and Feldhaus won the 4x100 in 51.57.
