Sophomore Sianni Wynn recorded two PRs and destroyed three meet records Saturday on her home track at the rainy Burlington County Scholastic League Liberty Division meet.
Despite the usual weekly Saturday rainy conditions, Wynn won the 100-meter dash in 11.76, the 200 in 23.85 and her newest event and the 400-meter hurdles, in 1:01.55.
Wynn’s 11.76 broke the meet record of 12.16 that Wynn ran last year. Sherron Lawson of Willingboro ran a hand-timed 12.1 in 1996 that was also listed as co-meet record because it’s lower than the 12.16, even though the 12.16 is intrinsically faster. Wynn has run 11.65 this spring, which is No. 8 in South Jersey history and No. 2 in New Jersey this year.
Wynn’s 23.85 was her first time under 24 seconds. Her previous PR was 24.11 at the Camden County Championships earlier this month at Haddon Township. Her time is No. 1 in New Jersey this year and equals No. 8 in New Jersey and No. 3 in South Jersey history. It’s 9th-fastest ever by a South Jersey alum, although like her 100 time and most times at early season meets with no wind guage it’s not eligible for record purposes. Her 23.85 broke Wynn’s own meet record of 24.20 from last year.
Wynn’s only previous intermediates race was a 1:03.13 at the Camden County Championships. Her 1:01.55 is No. 5 in the state this year and No. 3 in South Jersey, behind Eastern soph Natalie Dumas [59.80 at the South Jersey Elite at Delsea earlier this month] and Ocean City’s Sophia Curtis [1:00.11 at South Jersey Elite]. Dumas and Wynn are the top two sophomores in New Jertsey and No. 1 and No. 4 among U.S. sophomores according to the MileSplit national database. Wynn ran below the FAT Liberty Division meet record of 1:01.77 set by Willingboro’s Danielle Myrics in 2001. Shawnee’s Mandie Dulin will continue to be listed as co-meet record holder with Wynn with her hand-timed 1:01.4 from 1996.
Wynn is now the No. 1 sophomore in New Jersey in the 100, 200 and 400 [54.24] and No. 2 in the intermediates.
