Another huge meet for Pennsauken freshman Sianni Wynn at the SJTCA Winter Meet #10 at the Bubble.
Wynn ran a big indoor 400 PR with the No. 2 time in South Jersey this year and also won the 55-meter dash.
She ran 58.02 in the 400, No. 2 in the state behind only Piscataway senior Brooke’lyn Drakeford, who ran 56.51 at Ocean Breeze late last year. Wynn’s time is No. 11 nationally among freshmen, according to the MileSplit database, and it’s fastest by a South Jersey freshman since another Pennsauken girl, Jade Pope, ran 56.98 / 57.79 at Group 3 states at the Bubble in 2018.
The South Jersey freshman record is 56.29 by Olympian English Gardner of Eastern at the 2007 Meet of Champions, also at the Bubble in Toms River.

In the 55, Wynn won in 7.14 unpressed (second place was 7.62). She ran a state-leading 7.06 at the Armory in early January, No. 12 in South Jersey history.
Wynn this winter has also run a S.J. No. 1 24.81 in the 200 and 39.17 for 300 meters – both at the Armory.
Wynn’s 400 time is No. 17 on a very fast all-time Camden County list, but only a little over half a second outside the top 10.
