“Kenan is the kind of generational talent every coach hopes to work with. He’s the athlete who must be reined in rather than motivated. On the track, Kenan is a ‘greedy’ racer; he really likes to win as opposed to the athlete that hates to lose.”
Curtis Cowan
Head Coach - Desert Oasis High

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-1, 140-pound senior distance talent set a state record in the 3200-meter run at the Arcadia Invitational this past season and his time of 8:50.10 ranked No. 19 nationally among prep boys competitors this spring. Dagge also was No. 1 in the state in the mile run with a personal-best clocking of 4:10.72 at the O’Dea Relays in Washington. The 2024-25 Gatorade Nevada Boys Cross Country Player of the Year, he swept the 800, 1600 and 3200 at the Class 4A state meet, leading the Diamondbacks to the team title.

Academic Achievement

Dagge has maintained a 4.26 weighted GPA in the classroom. He has signed a written letter of athletic aid to compete at Georgetown University this fall.

Exemplary Character

A member of the National Honor Society, Dagge has volunteered locally as part of multiple community service initiatives through his church.
