The 5-foot-10, 152-pound junior won the Class 3A state meet this past season with a time of 16:00.39, breaking the tape 25.86 seconds ahead of his next-closest competitor and leading the Braves to a first-place finish as a team. Henderson took 19th at the Nike Cross Nationals Northwest Regional championships to earn Third Team All-Region honors and placed 90th at the Foot Locker West Regional championships.
Henderson has maintained a 3.99 GPA in the classroom. He will begin his senior year of high school this fall.
A member of the Star Valley student council and a cellist in the school orchestra, Henderson has volunteered locally on behalf of area beautification projects and as part of multiple community-service initiatives through his church. "Shane is a smart, confident runner with excellent instincts," said Maggie Kirkham, head coach of Cody High. "He is a great leader for his team and is an excellent ambassador for the sport because he is supportive of runners from every team."
