D-Y Dolphins Boys Take Two Indoor Track Victories

January 12, 2015

ROXBURY — Three of Dennis-Yarmouth’s best took home dual first- and second-place finishes last night at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center to pace the Dolphins to a pair of victories.

The Dolphins defeated Falmouth, 76-24, and Norwell, 73-21, thanks in large part to the efforts of Hiroto Watanabe, Arun Rambhadjan and Mike Dunn.
