Premier Wynn ran a lifetime-best 47.22 for 400 meters Monday afternoon to lead all qualifiers for the final in the MEAC Championships in Virginia Beach.
Wynn, a Norfolk State freshman from Pennsauken, smashed his indoor PR of 47.43 set earlier this month at Penn State. His high school indoor PR was 48.45, and his previous overall PR was a 47.39 when he won South Jersey Group 3 sectionals last June on his home track.
Wynn and freshman teammate Vincent Bond were the two-fastest qualifiers for the 400 final. Bond ran 47.29 in an earlier heat.
Norfolk State does not list an all-time top-10 on its web site, but according to the TFRRS site Wynn’s 47.22 is fastest by a Norfolk State freshman since at least 2009, as far back as the site goes.
The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference 400 final is scheduled for 1:40 p.m. Tuesday at the Virginia Beach Sports Center. Wynn also ran 21.50 on Sunday to qualify for the 200 final, which will be at 2:50 p.m. Tuesday. Wynn ran an indoor PR 21.43 last month, also in Virginia Beach. That’s an indoor/outdoor overall PR as well.
