At just 17, Quincy has accomplished what many athletes spend years chasing. Making the U.S. Olympic team and claiming gold in the 4x400m relay. But looks like the youngster is far from done. So, what’s next for the youngest male U.S. track Olympian? Surprisingly, it’s stepping into the shoes of a mentor. Remember 2024, when he was selected as a coach for The Armory? Well, the prodigy is at it again.

In a thrilling collaboration with The Armory and Runnerspace, the sprint superstar announced he’s returning to guide young athletes at the upcoming Fall 2025 Camp. “Coach Quincy Wilson is back! ⚡ Sprint sensation Quincy Wilson is LOCKED IN 🔒 for the Armory Camp!” the post declared. “Sign up today to train with one of track & field’s brightest young stars on November 16th⭐️ and see what it takes to become a GOAT in the sport. Register TODAY! Space is limited, click the link in bio!”

Notably, Wilson’s connection with New York’s legendary training scene runs deep. Just last year, he shattered the sophomore class record with a breathtaking 1:17.36 in the 600 meters at the 116th Millrose Games, marking the second-fastest high school performance ever in the event. But that’s not all—back in January, he had already made waves at the Armory Officials Hall of Fame Invitational, clocking 33.12 seconds to finish second in the 300 meters. From record-breaking wins to near-victories, now the athlete is looking to cement himself as a coach.

The Fall Camp kicks off on Sunday, November 16 (8am – 5:30pm EST), and aspiring participants can sign up on The Armory’s website for somewhere between $25 and $121.98. Joining Wilson will also be an all-star lineup of coaches, including 110m hurdles world champion Cordell Tinch, Josette Andrews, Robby Andrews, English Gardner, Vashti Cunningham, Kyle Garland, pole vaulter Lawrence Johnson and many more. The Bullis School star will be present for the ‘Sprint – AM’ (8:00am – 12:00pm) and ‘Sprint – PM’ (1:30 – 5:30pm) sessions alongside Gardner. “This package also includes a shirt, event information and all other camp materials,” the description section informed.

This marks the second time the Armory has enlisted Wilson as a coach, the first being in fall 2024 at the Nike Track & Field Center in Washington Heights.

Last year, the athlete inspired young runners to chase their dreams and become the best versions of themselves. “You never know where they come from, their background story, but I want them to know there are no limits to what they can do,” said Wilson. “When you get on the track, clear your mind and just run. … It’s not just about winning. You’re learning a lot of different life skills and mental toughness from this sport.” We’ll just have to wait and see what Coach Wilson has in store for the young athletes this year, but before that, he has a crucial decision to make.

Quincy Wilson is in the doldrums about his next career decision

The youngest US male Olympian recently took to his Instagram handle to share a snapshot with LSU stalwarts Vernon Norwood and Bennie Brazell, each flashing an “L” for Louisiana State University. In the caption, the athlete wrote, “Thank you, Coach Bennie and [Vernon Norwood] for coming to talk to my family and me about what LSU has to offer! #GeauxTigers #NotCommitted.”

So why were they there in the first place? It’s because Wilson is at a pivotal crossroads in his career. With offers from Florida, Texas A&M, and Tennessee, while also weighing opportunities at the University of Georgia and Texas Tech, he’s chosen to delay turning professional. Instead, he’s focusing on sharpening his technique and building the maturity required to excel at the elite level. Though Wilson remains undecided, Norwood clearly had a favorite, commenting, “GEAUX TIGERS! 🫵🏾”

As Wilson contemplates the next step in his career, he will also need to embrace his journey as a coach. At just 17 years old, it’s clear he’s excited to start this new chapter of his life, but how he will perform in the coming year remains to be seen.
