In 2015 Niceville High swept the team titles at Mosley High's Dolphin Dash cross country meet. on Saturday morning, 24 September 2016, another Okaloosa County school, Fort Walton Beach High, swept the team titles at the eighth annual Dolphin Dash. It was actually the third time in the history of the Lynn Haven, Florida event that Fort Walton Beach had returned home with both boys' and girls' team honors.It's a wonder that Okaloosa County schools are still welcome at the Dolphin Dash.
But Bay County athletes did well enough when it came to individual performances. For instance, in the first race of the morning, the high school girls' 5K, Panama City Rutherford senior Zeana Guirey won by 150 meters, running 21:00. Fort Walton Beach took the next two places, with Jessica Riley second in 21:39 and Maia Rivera third in 21:43. Ella Swigler of host school Mosley was fourth in 21:52.
Fort Walton Beach went on to add two more runners in the top ten, Lauren Adams (5th, 22:03) and Jeanette Chastain (9th, 22:55). Trinity Chastain (11th, 23:14) completed Fort Walton Beach's scoring, giving the team 30 points and first place among six teams. Led by the the sixth-place 22:23 finish of Emma Wilson, North Bay Haven was second in the team standings with 71 points. Rutherford was third with 92 points.
