Henry Wynn was truly the Lone Wolf Thursday.
With Coupeville High School running buddy Danny Conlisk sidelined with a hurting Achilles tendon, Wynn wrapped up cross country’s regular season with a 23rd-place finish at a four-team meet in Shoreline.
He motored across the line in 14 minutes, 50.16 seconds, while Cedarcrest junior Ben Benson won the King’s Roller Coaster Trail Run in 13:01.78.
There were 53 runners in the 2.4 mile boys race and 26 in the girls race, with Cedarcrest winning both team titles.
Wynn and Conlisk have been training and traveling with South Whidbey, since CHS doesn’t have an active cross country program.
The duo split from the Falcons now, though, and head to Sequim Oct. 20 for the Olympic League Championships.
While there, they’ll compete with runners from 1A schools Chimacum, Port Townsend and Klahowya, as well as the league’s eight 2A schools.
After that comes districts Oct. 29 and (if they qualify) state Nov. 5.
