Every day is a learning experience.
As Coupeville High School runners Henry Wynn and Danny Conlisk wade through their first cross country season, each meet is unique.
Thursday, the two Wolves found themselves in Langley for a Cascade Conference meet which drew 147 runners (99 on the boys side).
Despite having put in a hard leg work out in PE shortly before running (and Conlisk’s shoelace coming untied mid-race), the duo acquitted themselves quite nicely.
Wynn finished 30th in 19 minutes, 15.18 seconds, while Conslisk was half a step back in 31st (19:15.76).
Ian Fay, a senior from 2A Cedarcrest, won the race in 16:43.60, beating the field by nearly 30 seconds.
Wynn, a junior, and Conlisk, a sophomore, train and travel with South Whidbey, as Coupeville doesn’t have its own cross country program.
They have one regular-season meet left (Oct. 13), then break from the Falcons when the postseason starts.
