Henry Wynn is a closer.
Running in muggy weather down in Langley Saturday, the Coupeville High School senior harrier went deep and found a little something extra at the end of his race.
Wynn went to sprint mode in the final 100 meters of a 5,000 meter cross country race at the 39th annual Carl Westling Invitational, passing several runners down the backstretch.
He finished in 19 minutes, 23 seconds, with the strong surge pushing him to a 47th place finish out of 114 runners.
Running by himself — one teammate, Danny Conlisk, was out sick, while another, Sam Wynn, needs another practice to be eligible — Henry Wynn carried Coupeville’s colors in a race which attracted runners from 1B, 2B, 1A and 2A schools.
As the Wolves wait for their school to restart its own cross country program, they train and travel with South Whidbey High School runners and coaches.
Up next for the CHS trio is a trip to Lake Sammamish State Park Saturday, Sept. 23 for the Bellevue Cross Country Invitational.
