Pennsauken junior Sianni Wynn is still relatively new to hurdling, but she’s now one of the fastest in state history.
Wynn won the hurdles Monday afternoon at the South Jersey Track Coaches Association meet at Ocean Breeze in 7.99, which is 7th-fastest in South Jersey history, 16th-fastest on the all-time state list and 2nd-fastest by a New Jersey girl this winter. It’s also No. 12 nationally according to the MileSplit U.S. database.
Wynn has never run the highs outdoors and she only ran them indoors once last year, in a low-key meet at the Bubble the first week of the season. She ran 8.75 that day, but has steadily dropped her PR this winter, to 8.52 then 8.38 then 8.29 and 8.27 and then 8.26 and 8.10 to win sectionals before dropping a 7.99 on Monday on the fast track at Ocean Breeze.
Her time is fastest by a South Jersey hurdler since Winslow’s Tiona Tobias ran 7.98 at 2019 Easterns at the Armory.
Wynn is the state record holder at 60 meters with her 7.32 at the Ott Center earlier this month and the 200 with a 23.60 on the same track late last month and she’s run 54.27 in the 400.
Along the way Monday she broke the school record of 8.03 set in 2000 by Alethia Jenkins when she won 2000 Easterns at the Armory.
The race was a final by time. There were no trials.
