In Pictures: Quincy Wilson poses with the 2024 NCAA indoor trophy while visiting Texas Tech University to explore college options

Quincy Wilson, the reigning 4x400m relay Olympic champion, who is weighing in his college options, recently paid a visit to the Texas Tech University, where he struck a pose with the 2024 NCAA indoor trophy. However, he also clarified that he has not yet committed to their athletic program, the Texas Tech Red Raiders track and field team.

Wilson, a 16-year-old track and field prodigy, etched his name in history books at this year's Paris Olympics by becoming the youngest male Olympic track and field champion. Representing the United States in the 4x400m relay event, he had the opportunity to open for the team during the preliminary round, clocking an impressive 47.27 seconds in his leg.

Although he could not participate in the finals, the American quartet of Rai Benjamin, Vernon Norwood, Chris Bailey, and Bryce Deadmon took home the victory with a new Olympic record of 2:54.43 seconds. As part of the team, Wilson was awarded the first Olympic medal of his career.

After wrapping up his Olympics campaign, Quincy Wilson began a journey to consider his university options as he prepares to start a new chapter in his track and field career. As part of this journey, the Bullis School sophomore has visited several colleges, including Texas A&M University, the University of Georgia, and the University of Tennessee.

Most recently, he toured Texas Tech University and shared pictures of their gear on his Instagram on Saturday, November 9.

"Wreck em ‘ #notcommitted #officialvisit," Wilson wrote in the caption.

In an August interview with Olympics.com, Quincy Wilson expressed his eagerness to compete in multiple Olympics, drawing inspiration from fellow American runner Sydney Mclaughlin-Levrone, who has participated in three Olympics and won four gold medals.

"I know I have multiple world championships, multiple Olympics to go to, so it’s one of many. I will keep looking up, keeping out here like Sydney McLaughlin. So I will come back and get better for next year. This is just but a start," Wilson said.

The Virginia native further stated that winning Olympic gold in Paris was a dream come true moment in his career. He acknowledged that he hadn't run his best at the competition but expressed appreciation for his team's efforts.

"This was a dream come true. I didn't run my best, but I knew I had a great team on my hands. I wasn't nervous, I was 100% myself," he added.

Last year in September, Wilson took a major step in his career by signing a NIL deal with the sportswear giant New Balance, becoming one of the youngest runners to secure such an agreement.
