After running the 6th-fastest time in U.S. history in the 55-meter dash, Pennsauken senior Sianni Wynn cemented herself as one of the top high school sprinters in history with the 12th-fastest time in U.S. history in the 200.
Wynn set one state record and tied another at the 57th annual Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze in Staten Island.
She’s now one of only three girls in U.S. high school track history to run 6.73 or faster in the 55 and 22.31 or faster in the 200. The others are Shawnti Jackson of South High in Granville, N.C., in 2023 [6.67, 22.91 in 2023] and Tamari Davis of Oak Hall in Gainesville, Fla., in 2019 [6.73, 23.24].
She’s also now won more indoor Meet of Champions titles than anybody else in the girls meet’s 47-year history.
The question wasn’t whether she would win two more Meet of Champions titles – that’s nine and counting – but how fast she would go on the super-charged Ocean Breeze track.
I wrote earlier about Wynn’s explosive win in the 55, where she tied Michelle Glover’s state record of 6.73. You can read about that here. https://sjtrackblog.com/2025/03/02/sianni-wynn-runs-6th-fastest-55-meter-dash-time-in-u-s-history-in-legendary-meet-of-champions-performance/
She came back to win the 200 by a staggering eight meters over Corbin Raston of West Orange, with Timber Creek senior Ryan Jennings 3rd in 24.47. Raston’s time is 11th-fastest in state history.
Her 23.31 is the 2nd-fastest 200 ever run indoors or outdoors by a South Jersey woman. Dennisha Page of Woodrow Wilson ran 22.39 last spring as a senior at Tennessee at the SEC Championships in Gainesville, Fla.
Wynn broke her own state record in the 200. She ran 23.62 on Feb. 1 at the Ott Center in West Philly.
The previous meet records were Wynn’s 6.81 in the 55 and 24.00 in the 200.
Wynn has competed in nine Meet of Champions events in her career and has won all nine. Her six indoor MoC titles are another record. Columbia middle-distance runner Olivia Baker of Columbia won five in the 400 and 800 from 2011 through 2014, and Giselle Harris of Shabazz won five in the same two events from 1984 through 1986.
Wynn will have the opportunity to compete in three more Meet of Champions before she graduates. With three more individual MoC titles indoors and outdoors, she’ll break the state record for combined MoC wins shared by Baker and Sydney McLaughlin
