In his first collegiate intermediate hurdles race, Norfolk State freshman Premier Wynn of Pennsauken picked up a win and a personal best.
Wynn ran 52.29 and won the 400-meter hurdles Saturday at the Norfolk State Invitational at NSU’s Dick Price Stadium.
His time is fastest by a Norfolk State freshman since Jaylen Banks ran 51.30 at the 2017 NCAA East Prelims in Lexington, Ky.
Wynn’s previous PR was his 52.68 to win the Camden County meet at Haddon Township last May in a 1`-2 finish with teammate Bryce Tucker, who ran 52.80.
Wynn won by nearly 2 ½ seconds over teammate Tafari Bishop, who placed 2nd in 54.53.
His time is No. 2 this year in the MEAC, behind only Howard senior Noah Langford, who ran 52.15 in a meet in Tampa last month.
Wynn already ranks No. 3 in the MEAC in the flat 400 with a 47.80 last weekend at the Raleigh Relays.
