Brooks PR has been invitational in records. Back in June 2024, the Renton Memorial Stadium witnessed nearly 73% of participants across key races achieving their personal bests, including all finalists in both girls’ 100m hurdles and boys’ 110m hurdles. Back then, Freshman Cooper Lutkenhaus smashed the U.S. freshman 800 m record, clocking a time of 1:47.58, becoming the 7th fastest high-schooler ever. Clock to the 2025  Brooks PR Invitational, the man broke through the 29-year-old record of Michael Granville to achieve the outdoor national high school record in 800m (1:46.26). While this man challenged an age-old record, a little girl challenged her age. What did she do, and what is Quincy Wilson’s say over it?

51.67 – Camryn Dailey……WOW. MIDDLE SCHOOL 400M NATIONAL RECORD. 13-year-old WORLD RECORD” was the caption of Sound Running as they posted a video of Camryn Dailey, a 13-year-old track and field athlete. On June 8, she clocked a time of  51.67s in the 400 meters at the Books PR Meet. The video showed an exhausted Dailey running through the ribbon, not only claiming the win but also the world record for being the fastest 13-year-old in the 400 meters. The stadium echoed with cheers as her friend hugged her. Runner Space commented, “So fast,” but that wasn’t the most prestigious praise she received yet.

Quicy Wilson chimed in to offer his praise. He took the post by Sound Running to his Instagram story on June 9, where he wrote, “coldest out.” If anybody knows what it is like to be a young athlete who is praised, it has to be this Olympian. Wilson began his track and field journey at the age of 8. His parents, Monique and Roy Wilson, recognized his early talent and supported his involvement in athletics from a young age. In 2017, at the age of 9, he competed in the AAU Junior Olympics, marking the start of his national competition career.

Like Quincy, Camryn has also stated young, and she is slowly making a name for herself in the track and field scene.

Camryn Dailey achivements

Camryn Dailey is one of the top middle school sprinters in the U.S., with multiple national records to her name. At the 2024 New Balance Nationals Indoor, she broke the middle school 60-meter record twice—first running 7.46 seconds in the prelims, then 7.40 in the final to win the title. She also won the 400 meters in 55.33 seconds, setting another meet record. She didn’t stop there: Dailey also claimed the national middle school title in the 400 meters with a dominant performance, finishing in 55.33 seconds, another meet record.

What’s your perspective on:

Camryn Dailey's record-breaking run—future Olympic star in the making or just a flash in the pan?

Have an interesting take?

Earlier in the season at the Virginia Showcase, she ran 23.76 seconds in the 200 meters—one of the fastest times for her age group. At the AAU Junior Olympic Games, Camryn Dailey consistently made a strong showing against top competition in her age group. In Des Moines 2023, at just 12 years old, she reached the semifinals of the 100‑meter dash with a swift 12.43s effort to qualify. She also competed in the 200‑meter prelims, clocking 26.11s—placing her among the front half of the field.

Fast forward to Greensboro 2024, and Dailey elevated her performance dramatically in the 13‑year-old division. She began with a 24.73s in the 200m prelims, then dominated both the semifinals and finals, running 24.11s in each to claim the national AAU title in her age group. That 24.11s mark placed her at the top of the podium and demonstrated marked improvement from the previous year.
