Ka’Deem Wynn lay on the grass at First Academy in Orlando, struggling to catch his breath. He had just run his last race at the 38th Annual Golden South Classic, posting a personal record time of 1:57.44 in the 800 meters. But he wasn’t done.

“Just give me a few minutes, and I’ll be ready for my interview,” Wynn told distancepreps.com editor Bob Cooke. Wynn, a rising junior at Flagler Palm Coast, took a quick swig of Powerade, pulled on a grey T-shirt and tidied himself up for the camera.

“How are you feeling right now?” The first question comes out organically, and Wynn — the interviewer — clasps the slender black microphone with an air of confidence. His subject, a standout runner from Georgia, probably has no clue he’s talking to a fellow high schooler.

Since March, Wynn has juggled duties as one of the Bulldogs’ top distance runners with a burgeoning career in sports journalism.
