Pennsauken senior Sianni Wynn ran within 6-100ths of a second of her state record in the 200 Saturday at the Ott Center.
Wynn, who set the state record of 23.31 in March when she won the Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze, ran 23.37 to win the Penn Relays Winter Showcase.
They’re the two-fastest times in New Jersey indoor track history.
Wynn’s time is 4th-fastest in the country according to MileSplit’s national database. Seniors Mia and Mariah Maxwell of Atascocita High of Humble, Texas, ran 22.89 and 22.97 in a meet earlier this month in College Station, Texas, and freshman Melanie Dodgett of Landmark Christian School in Fairburn, Ga., ran 23.25 last month in Birmingham, Ala.
Wynn also won the 60 in 7.36, fastest in New Jersey this year and just 7-100ths of a second off her state-record 7.29 from Armory Nationals in March. The only other New Jersey girl to run as fast as 7.36 is Myasia Jacobs of Paramus Catholic, who ran 7.34 in 2011 Armory Nationals.
Wynn officially came through 55 meters in 6.86, also 3rd-fastest nationally this year. She shares the state record of 6.73 with Willingboro legend Michelle Glover, who ran 6.73 in 1981.
