Jake Ogden is the top returner for the Dolphins this season
Dana Hills is looking to come back strong this year led by rising senior Jake Ogden, who finished 73rd at NXN last year. The team finished second in Division 1 in California for the 2014 season and they return 6 of their top 7. The Dolphins have some strong performances on the track to back them up, with all of their top 5 running sub 4:30 or better in the 1600m. In the 3200m, Mason Coppi was only a second off of breaking the 9:00 minute mark this past season when he ran 9:01.96 at the CIF Southern Section Meet. The team also has two other guys in Ogden and Jack Landgraf who have run sub 9:20. Based on last year's cross country season, the team has a strong front runner in Ogden and a solid pack only a few seconds behind him, giving them a 1:11 spread though 5 guys. Ogden ran 15:11 last year, just off the sub-15 minute barrier.
The perennial California power will look to return to NXN after a year's hiatus. In 2013, they finished 18th. The team's highest finish at NXN in the last five years is seventh, though they were sixth in 2009.
