From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Sianni Wynn’s 23.49 anchor led Pennsauken to the fastest 800-meter relay performance by a New Jersey school this year Saturday morning in a SJTCA meet at the Ott Center.

Senior Amina Dyer and juniors Sanaya Dupree and Olivia Dupree ran the first three legs for Pennsauken, which ran 1:42.24 and won by about 40 meters over Eastern and Kingsway, who were 2nd and 3rd in 1:46.36 and 1:46.38.

The previous-fastest time by a New Jersey school this year was Pennsauken’s 1:42.54 in December, also at the Ott Center.

The time is 11th-fastest in the U.S. this year, according to the MileSplit national database. It’s No. 17 in South Jersey history and No. 10 on the all-time Camden County list.
