Pennsauken (NJ) senior Sianni Wynn has proven time and time again throughout her career her surname is one of most fitting you’ll ever come across. The University of Florida commit has yet to lose in her final high school season, creating some New Jersey history along the way with the second-fastest 200m race in state history.

This summer, she’ll be looking to add to her already record-setting gold medal tally at New Jersey’s legendary meet of champions before attacking the 100m-200m double at New Balance Nationals Outdoor. Wynn sat down with CITIUS MAG to discuss why she’s better this season than last year, her motivations while chasing the lone sprint title that’s eluded her, and how she welcomes having a target on her back at the sport’s biggest stage.

The following interview has been edited lightly for length and clarity.

CITIUS MAG: Sianni, you’re undefeated so far outdoors in individual races. You’ve got the Meet of Champions coming up and you’ve got New Balance Nationals Outdoor coming up, but how do you feel about the way your regular season went?

Sianni Wynn: I’m feeling great about it. I put up some good numbers and I’m excited to go out with a bang.

You’ve run a 200m PB of 23.03, the second-fastest time in New Jersey history only behind Sydney McLaughlin, and you’ve got a 100m SB of 11.37, with both of those being well within the top 10 in the U.S. among wind-legal times. What takeaways do you have from those times and races?

I feel like I’m in a really good spot right now. 23.03 is obviously my PB and 11.37 isn’t far off, so I’m in a really good spot and training’s going good. I did run those times into a headwind, so I definitely feel like I can run faster.

What do some of the numbers in training say about the end of May in 2025 vs. the end of May in 2026?

At the end of May in 2025, the times I had run earlier in the season were nowhere near the times from this year, nowhere near each other. Last year the fastest I had ran at this time was probably 23.5 and 11.2, but I’m not sure if it was wind-aided or not because there was no wind gauge. So this year, to run 23.03 and 11.3 so early in the season, I definitely feel like I’m much, much faster than I was last year.

Can you talk a little about what momentum looks like for you? Aside from an anomaly 55mH race indoors, you haven’t lost an individual race indoors or outdoors this year. How does that consistency build confidence for you heading into the most important races of the season?

Consistency is the key to all the things that I do. So I build momentum by working on the little things. I talk to my coach and figure out one little thing that I’ll work on in each of my meets and try and apply that, and that’s what I feel like gives me my momentum.

I mentioned that your 23.03 is the second-fastest in New Jersey history, and you hold the state record for Meet of Champions titles with 13. For a state that has as rich of a history in high school track and field as New Jersey does, how significant is leaving a legacy in that state?

It means a lot when you talk about people like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Athing Mu, Olivia Baker. Honestly, the fact that I was able to cement myself in that way feels great because New Jersey does have a rich history, even though people like to sleep on it. I always feel proud to represent New Jersey.

You’re choosing to prioritize New Balance Nationals Outdoor over the U.S. Junior Championships this summer. What went into that decision?

It’s New Balance Nationals, of course. And that week, I also graduate from high school, and if I went to Oregon I’d have to miss my graduation and I didn’t really want to because you only get to graduate once.

As we move towards NBNO now, you’re the defending 100m champion and indoors, you won two more national titles. You’ve got a pretty big target on your back—is that pressure and expectation something you welcome headed into a meet like this?

Of course, you have to feed off stuff like that because you have to know that somebody wants to take your spot, somebody wants to take your place. But honestly, what I’m really looking for is that outdoor 200m title. I have it indoors, I have the 60m indoors, the 100m outdoors, but I really, really want that 200m outdoors.

And that 200m last summer is the last time you lost a flat race. After getting the double indoors, how much is that a motivating factor?

That is very motivating. Last year in the 200m, I got second, but when I came off the curve I was in like fifth or sixth, so I really had to dig deep. This year, this outdoor, I’m really looking forward to competing in the double.

NBNO will be the last meet of your high school career and then you’re headed to Gainesville to join the University of Florida. This year they had a really strong freshman sprint group, and the one coming in the fall could be even stronger. How excited are you to come down to Florida, hopefully get some nicer weather, and get to work as a Gator?

I am ecstatic. When I went on my visit to Florida, I absolutely loved it. I felt like a family, I loved Coach [Mike] Holloway, so I’m very excited.

Well we’re excited to see what’s in store for you these next few weeks. Sianni, good luck as you try and add a few more Meet of Champions titles to your record and then go after the double at NBNO!
