Rough Night for Ocean City at the South Jersey Lifeguard Championships

All 15 of South Jersey's Beach Patrols participated in this years South Jersey Lifeguard Championships in Avalon, NJ.  The temperature was hot, the water was rough, and the crowds were abundant.   The evening was less than ideal for Ocean City's Beach Patrol, who did not place. Longport was the big winner this year and will get to host next years event.  Below is a video summary of the action as well as the official results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez0wbl3ljdg&feature=youtu.be
