The sky seems to be the limit for the Bullis High School phenom Quincy Wilson. This year, the 16-year-old sprinter had attained as low as 45.13 seconds timing in the 400m sprinting at the New Balance Nationals Outdoors. When the track community was thinking that nothing shorter could be achieved, Quincy Wilson dropped the thunderbolt and finished his 400m at Hayward Field in 44.66 seconds. The new timing is the new U18 world record and it sets him at the top of the high school national list. Naturally, after watching such a performance, the audience couldn’t hold calm. 

While Quincy himself relished the moment, confessing about taking motivation from the fans’ comments, the fans cheered him like nothing. Soon one of such fans adorned his performance by calling it ‘Unreal’. Meanwhile, another Quincy lit the Hayward Field in the 400m event trial today, and he is Quincy Hall. 

The 25-year-old sprinter advanced to the next round with a timing of 44.60 seconds in the heats event. With him and Quincy Wilson, the other famous names, Mike Norman, Vernon Norwood, and Johnnie Blockburger, also took their victory at the preliminary level. So, in the penultimate round, Quincy Wilson will have to face such big names to settle himself with the Paris Olympics ticket. So, wouldn’t it be an issue to counter the challenge?

With a resolute composure, Quincy said, “I’m not running high school anymore. I’m running with the big dogs, so I decided to come out here and give it my all.” He further added, “Honestly, just coming out here in advance, one ride at a time, because that’s the main goal.” Meanwhile, the comments remained enough to send jitters among his fans on social media. 

Fans see higher prospect in Quincy Wilson this time onward 

Several fans went high to cherish the dream run of Quincy Wilson. This year, the Bullis-grown talent has already claimed three age-based world records in the 400m events. Keeping a tab on those, one fan commented, “With proper management, Quincy Wilson is going to be stepping on toes in the future”.

One follower set a picture of him being an Olympic hero. The fan’s expectations touched the ceiling as they commented, “Quincy Wilson gonna have 2 gold medals and a world record if he’s willing to do mixed 4×4.”. But to settle himself at that level, the Maryland native will need a bagful of experience. 

A fan pointed out that Quincy Wilson’s place in the Olympic team will give him the experience at the highest level. Subsequently, it will help him in the long run, the wunderkind being just 16. Therefore came the comment, “44.66 by a 16 year old is crazy. Quincy Wilson needs to make this team for experience alone. It’ll push him to a whole other level”. The fans agreed to that as one commented, “Quincy Wilson keeps running a faster time.” With such a display of talent, Quincy will surely look forward to securing his Paris Olympics berth.
