The story of Henry Wynne, the latest boys’ high school mile luminary, is so retro it’s spooky.
Wynne’s mother, a runner, had to toss him out of bed as a freshman to join the high school cross country team. Once he took to running, he preferred speed over distance. He’s become remarkably consistent with fast times. He’s a workhorse who often triples in meets. And when he’s not running he’s playing golf.
