Greg Dotson realizes he is on the verge of joining a rare fraternity. As a runner at Burbank High, the junior is well aware of the history the school has in turning out successful distance and middle-distance athletes.
Dotson is the latest distance running standout from Burbank, following in a long line of stars dating back to the 1960s with Rick Romero and Fred Ortega. Jeff Nelson, Lin Whatcott and John Musich led the way in the 1970s, Benny Cruz and Todd Lewis in the 1980s, Issac Turner in the 1990s and Kyle Ivie more recently.
“It’s nice to be a part of that tradition,” said Dotson, who won the Pacific League championship in the boys’ 800 meters two weeks ago. “There have been some great runners here at Burbank.”
