Quincy Wilson has been on a record-breaking spree this season with several incredible performances in the Indoor and Outdoor seasons. He broke the U.S. High School record in the 400m at the New Balance Nationals early in the 2024 season.

He was named to the U.S. Olympic team in the Men's 4x400m relay. A week before the commencement of the Paris Olympics, Wilson participated in the Holloway Pro Classic and shattered his own U18 400m world record once again. Fans were impressed by the youngster's terrific performance and took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their excitement.

Quincy Wilson opened up about breaking the U18 400m world record at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials. He shattered the record twice in two days which stood for 42 years. In a post-race interview with Citius Magazine, he expressed his thoughts about his performance.

“I'm feeling great. I’ve never been this happy a day in my life when it came to track. I’ve been working for this moment. That record that I broke? That’s 42 years. 42 years of nobody being able to break that record. I broke it twice in two days," he said.

It means a lot to me because it means that my hard work has been paying off, staying longer after practices, and before practices. I'm just excited for myself” he added.

Quincy Wilson will be making his Olympic debut in Paris as a part of the U.S. Olympic Team in the Men's 4x400m relay.
