Mark Rubin of Barclays Plc won the RBC Decathlon for a third straight year, successfully defending his title as Wall Street’s best all-around athlete by winning the final event in the competition by less than a second.
Rubin, a former Pennsylvania State University safety who spent time in training camp with a few National Football League teams, beat Jay Li of Trafelet Brokaw & Co. in a sprint to the finish line of the 800-meter run yesterday at St. John’s University. It’s the second year in a row Rubin, 28, and Li, 32, finished atop the field of about 150 financial industry workers in the 10-event challenge, which raised about $1.5 million for Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
