Wilson opened up about breaking the U18 400m World record twice in two days in a post-race interview with Citius Magazine.

“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. It means a lot to me because it means that my hard work has been paying off," he said.
