Norfolk State freshman Premier Wynn from Pennsauken won the 200 with the fastest time in the MEAC this year Friday at the Marlin Invitational in Virginia Beach.
Wynn ran 21.43 and edged teammate Christopher Basking in a 1-2-3 finish of Norfolk State freshmen. Basking ran 21.85 and Vincent Bond was 3rd in 21.89.
Wynn’s time is fastest in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference so far this year.
Wynn had a PR of 21.55 in high school from his win at the state Group 4 meet at Franklin Township High last June. His indoor PR was 21.75 when he won the Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze this past March.
His time matches the fastest by a Norfolk State freshman indoors in 13 years, since James Taylor ran 21.08 in a meet in Blacksburg, Va., in 2011. Savien Hayes also ran 21.43 as a freshman in 2020.
