Press release from Red Bank Regional High School

This year, Red Bank Regional High School added a new accolade to recognize student athletes, and in this case, scholar athletes, with the first Principal’s Cup.

RBR Principal Risa Clay explains, “We created the Principal’s Cup, which recognizes, acknowledges and celebrates the team that strives for excellence while competing both on the playing field and in the classroom. It is awarded to the team with the highest average GPA among its members.”

The honor this year went to the Girls’ Cross Country team, which, coincidently, had registered the best team performance of the RBR fall sport’s season. For only the third time in its 30-year history, the Girls’ Cross Country team went undefeated with a 7-0 record.  They finished second at the Shore Coaches Invitational and placed five girls in the top 25.

The girls’ performance off the field was equally amazing with a combined GPA of 96.8%.
