Kenneth Edward Dennis (May 13, 1937 – April 7, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada) was an American track and field athlete.
But it was Dennis' 13 points winning the 100, second in the 220 behind Bobby Poynter and 4x220 yard relay[3] that led Centennial to the overall team title at the CIF California State Meet in 1955.
Almost four years later, August 14, 1987, Dennis again ran 11.03, this time to set the M50 World Record in the 100 metres at the USATF Masters Championships in Springfield, Oregon.
[11] The next time the two met in the World Championships was 1995 in Buffalo, New York, where Austin came from behind to catch the quick starting Dennis in extremely windy conditions.
On June 24, 2000 he joined rivals Harold Tolson, Doug Smith and Gary Simms in setting the M60 American record in the 4 x 100 metres relay at the Southern California USATF Masters Age Group Championships.
