Sianni Wynn destroyed the South Jersey record in the 200 and came within 2-100ths of a second of the state record in the 100 in her 2nd consecutive Meet of Champions sprint double.
Wynn, racing on her home track at Pennsauken, became just the 4th girl to double the 100- and 200-meter dashes at a Meet of Champions two years in a row and the first in 23 years.
She won the 200 in a wind-legal 23.20 and the 100 in a slightly wind-aided 11.25 after a meet-rcord 11.30 in the trials. The 23.20 broke the wind-legal South Jersey record of 23.29 set by Timber Creek’s Naylah Jones last year at the state Group 3 meet at Delsea. It’s No. 2 in state history, behind only four-time Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin, who ran 22.96 at the 2017 Parochial A meet at Egg Harbor.
That 11.25 is only 2-100ths of a second off the state record of 11.23 set by Timber Creek’s Naylah Jones last year at the state Group 3 meet at Delsea. On the all-time New Jersey wind-legal list, Wynn is 3rd at 11.36, but it’s just a matter of time till she runs faster with legal wind.
Since the NJSIAA has never bothered with wind readings (or much of anything) in its record keeping, both of Wynn’s marks will be considered meet records.
She broke the 100 record of 11.36 that she set last year and broke the 200 record of 24.36 set by Elizabeth’s Cynthia Boakye in 2023.
The only other girls to win the 100 and 200 in consecutive years are Willingboro’s Michelle Glover in 1980 and 1981, Nicole Carmichael of JFK Paterson in 1994 and Jenna Harris of Franklin in 2002. Details below.
Including her Meet of Champions 400 win as a freshman in 2023, Wynn now has five MoC individual titles. With a year to go, that’s tied for 7th-most in meet history. Among South Jersey girls, only Erin Donohue of Haddonfield and Carol Lewis of Willingboro – two Olympians – have more all-time MoC individual titles, with six apiece. Michelle Glover of Pennsauken and Willingboro and Natalie Dumas of Eastern also have five. Billota’s eight are the most in history and nobody else has more than seven. Wynn and Dumas will both have a chance to chase Bilotta’s record next year.
Here’s a more detailed look at the four girls who’ve swept the 100 and 200 in back-to-back years. As you can see, Wynn’s two doubles are far more impressive than the others:
Sianni Wynn [Pennsauken] 2024 [11.36, 23.34], 2025 [11.25, 23.20]
Jenna Harris [Franklin] 2002 [11.96, 24.32], 2003 [11.74 23.87]
Nicole Carmichael [JFK Paterson], 1994 [12.04, 24.47], 1995 [11.80, 24.12]
Michelle Glover [Willingboro], 1980 [11.6h, 24.4h], 1981 [11.5h, 23.5h]
The only South Jersey women to run 200 meters faster than Wynn with legal wind are Wilson’s Dennisha Page [22.39 in Gainesville last May], Olympian English Gardner [22.62 in Los Angeles in 2013] and Williamstown’s Gabrielle Farquharson [23.07 in Lincoln, Neb., in 2016].
Wynn also anchored Pennsauken’s 3rd-place 400-meter relay team, which ran 46.95. That’s No. 16 in state history and No. 5 in South Jersey history. Juniors Sanaya Dupree and Olivia Dupree and sophomore Abigayle John ran the 1st three legs.
Willingboro ran 46.71 in the same race for 2nd place. That’s No. 11 in state history, No. 3 in South Jersey history and a Burlington County record. Senior Nester Wea, junior Kalia Speight, sophomore Jade Pinder and sophomore Maya Bolden ran for the Chimeras.
