Dehn opened his 2009 outdoor campaign with a strong showing in the javelin.  The sophomore posted a throw of 206 feet (62.79m.) which topped all competitors at the Rose-Hulman Early Bird meet.  His mark also becomes the fourth-best toss in school history and qualifies him for the Mideast Regional meet at the end of May.
