   You had one job! At least three school names are misspelled on the shirt given out Saturday at the Bellevue Cross Country Invitational. Of course, Coupeville is one… (Dawnelle Conlisk photos)

   Together, in uniform and in action, for the first time — Danny Conlisk (469), Henry Wynn (470) and Sam Wynn.

Team work!

For the first time this season all three Coupeville High School cross country runners were in uniform and on the course on the same day.

The Wolves, who travel and train with South Whidbey while they wait for CHS to revive its own storied program, ran Saturday at the 56-team Bellevue Cross Country Invitational at Lake Sammamish State Park.

Danny Conlisk, back in action after missing a meet due to illness, tore up the course, cruising through 5,000 meters in 17 minutes, 48.3 seconds, to finish 40th out of 74 runners in his flight.

That’s not only a PR for the Wolf junior, but a huge time drop, as he shaved 48 seconds off his previous best performance.

Running in the same race, CHS senior Henry Wynn finished 63rd in 19:00.

Rounding out the Wolf competitors was freshman Sam Wynn, who made his high school cross country debut.

The lil’ brother rambled home in 21:14.

The Invitational featured 13 different races, seven for boys and six for girls.

Coupeville’s trio really hit the road for their next event, traveling to Missoula, Montana for the 80-team Mountain West Classic Saturday, Sept. 30.

Saturdays are for PRs.

Running in the second cross country race of their prep careers, Coupeville High School harriers Henry Wynn and Danny Conslisk both shaved considerable time off their best efforts.

The duo, who train and travel with South Whidbey, but compete as Wolves, were running at the mega-huge Bellevue Cross Country Invitational in Sammamish.

On a day when seven separate boys races were run, Coupeville’s fleet-footed pair were entered in the JV race.

Wynn finished 63rd in a field of 214 runners, covering the 5,000 meter course in 19 minutes, 5.30 seconds.

That was a full 1:12 better than his previous best for the CHS junior.

His running mate, a sophomore, crossed the line in 19:48 flat, claiming 101st.

That was a crisp 31 seconds better than Conlisk’s first race.

Both Wolves can also say, thanks to a quirk, that they have now beaten Tyler King in a cross country race.

Now, to be honest, it’s not the guy with that name who won a state 1A cross country title in 2010 while capping his remarkable career at Coupeville.

Instead, it’s a South Whidbey freshman who bears the same moniker and was 207th on this day.

The five Falcons who joined Wynn and Conlisk in Bellevue finished 80th (Michael Cepowski), 105th (Andrew Curtis), 201st (Ethan Petty), 207th (King) and 211th (Joe Davies).
