Sianni Wynn advanced to the 200 final with the 2nd-fastest qualifying time and two hours later led Pennsauken to the 2nd-fastest 400-meter relay qualifying time Saturday at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.
Wynn, already a double national champion after winning the 100 and anchoring Pennsauken’s winning 800-meter relay team, ran 23.32 with a legal 0.1 headwind. The only faster qualifier for the final was Venessa Waite of Lake Minneola High in Minneola, Fla., who ran 23.20.
Wynn has a PR of 23.03 from the Camden County Championships at Haddon Township last month and Waite has a 23.17 PR from her win in the Florida championships last month in Jacksonville.
The final is scheduled for 3:44 p.m. Sunday.
Wynn then anchored Pennsauken to a 45.89 in the 400-meter relay trials. Only Bullis High of Potomac, Md., ran faster in qualifying with a 45.81. Pennsauken has run 45.30 this year on the same track at the Penn Relays. Bullis has run 44.82 in Arcadia, Calif.
Junior Summer Schaffer and senior cousins Sanaya and Olivia Dupree ran the first three legs for Pennsauken.
The 400-meter relay final is scheduled for 1:36 p.m. Sunday.
Winslow also qualified for the 4-by-100 final despite not using its two-fastest 100-meter dash runners. Junior Jordyn Cato, junior Skhye Seamon, senior Leeya Joseph and junior Amaya Jones ran 46.74 to secure the 8th and final qualifying spot.
Olivia Okaro [11.93] and Jasmine Jackson [12.00] are Winslow’s fastest 100-meter dash runners this year.
