They reached the end of the trail, for now.
Danny Conlisk and Henry Wynn received their cross country letters Sunday, becoming the first Coupeville High School athletes to be honored in the sport in six seasons.
CHS doesn’t have an active harrier program of its own, so the Wolf duo traveled and trained with South Whidbey this year.
Wynn, a junior, ran in six meets, setting his PR in the 5,000 meters (18:47.5) at the Olympic League Championships.
Conlisk battled through leg injuries which ended his season early, but competed in four meets before going down.
He set a PR of 18:36 at the Nike Twilight XC Invitational.
While the Wolf duo had to put out extra time and effort to compete without a school team to call their own, they and their parents felt it was more than worth it.
“Loved this journey with South Whidbey,” said Dawnelle Conlisk. “It truly was amazing.”
