Quincy Wilson focused on improving after bettering his own U18 world record at New Balance Indoor Grand Prix

American track athlete Quincy Wilson shared her thoughts after winning the 400m race at the 2025 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. Wilson clocked a run time of 45.66 seconds, creating a new American high school as well as a U18 world record in the distance.

Fellow American Will Sumner finished second in 46.27 seconds while Trinidad and Tobago athlete Jereem Richards bagged the third position after clocking 46.49 seconds.

Following the conclusion of his race, Wilson was asked about this particular number of records in his career (via realtalkwithtee's Instagram handle):

"I am tired, I don't even know, couldn't even tell you," he replied.

"It was some things that I gotta change a lot but the time was good. So, I am gonna go the lab and work on a couple of things," Wilson added.

This was Wilson's second event in the 2025 season after the Virginia Showcase, where he finished second in the 500m short track race. Additionally, he helped his side win the 4x400m mixed short relay during the competition.

"It felt great being in an environment, usually when I first started running, my heart started beating but now like you adjust and now like the other pros inviting me in."
