At sixteen, Quincy Wilson is already making waves in the track and field world by working tirelessly to realize his dream.
He made history at the Paris Games by becoming the youngest male track and field competitor from the United States and competing for the 4×400-metre relay team. His remarkable journey has not gone unnoticed; Sports Illustrated named him one of the “Teen Titans” in its 2024 list of up-and-coming athletes.
At the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials, Quincy Wilson made waves by breaking the record for males under 18 with 44.94 seconds, finishing sixth in the 400-metre final. On July 19, he set a personal best, breaking his mark.

RoriDunk recently revealed on X that U-18 400m record holder Quincy Wilson, after finishing school at Bullis in Maryland, will visit Texas A&M this weekend. As Wilson considers his college options, Texas A&M is a serious contender because of its history of producing NCAA stars like Fred Kerley and Deon Lendore.

Noah Lyles noticed Quincy Wilson in March and gave him a lot of credit on Twitter after Wilson broke the high school indoor 400-metre record. Wilson said, “I’ve looked up to Lyles and Fred Kerley for a long time,” as he thought back on this accomplishment. But I believe it’s my turn now.” At a competition in Florida on July 18, he not only lived up to Team USA’s high expectations, but he also broke the under-18 world mark with a stunning performance of 44.20 seconds.
