Athletes Mentioned
Henry Wynne has an unusual origin story: he’s a former lacrosse player who had no interest in running but his parents encouraged him to stick with the sport in high school.
Fast forward about 10 years later and today, he’s an elite middle-distance athlete sponsored by Brooks. A former runner for the University of Virginia, he's had several notable accomplishments over the years:
- 2016 Indoor NCAA Mile - Champion
- 2016 Outdoor NCAA Mile - 3rd
- 4 x All-American
- School Record Holder, 1500m
His personal best in the mile is 3:55 (from less than two weeks ago!) - and he's going to let you in on how he prepares to race.
