He is also the national champion in the indoor mile, winning the New Balance Indoor Track and Field High School National Championships at The Armory in New York City in March in a time of 4:08.15. A video and story by The Daily Voice on that race can be found here.

He set a Connecticut record in May when he placed second in the Adidas High School Boys Dream Mile, running in 4:5.04 seconds. That also established a new school record and personal best. Read about that race here on The Daily Voice.

Wynne is headed for the University of Virginia in the fall.
