ROXBURY — There’s a simple but true fact about the girls at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School: they sure can run.
The Dolphin girls picked up two huge wins Monday night at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center, and in so doing were crowned 2014-15 Atlantic Coast League Indoor Track champions. At a perfect 7-0, the Lady Dolphins defeated Falmouth, 75-25, to clinch the ACL title and Norwell, for a non-league win, 69.50-30-50.
