Additionally, he mentioned that the New Balance Indoors is an event he wants to compete in every year. He said (via Citius Mag, 00:45 onwards):
"It's just a great atmosphere. When I came here and ran at New Balance Grand Prix, was a great atmosphere. I just feel like, everybody the stadium and everything, it gets everybody hyped up and I couldn't have done without the supporters though because they were really hyped, they were really getting me hyped up. I heard people saying different kind of things, I was getting hyped up, so it was nice atmosphere and New Balance National is something I always look forward to," Wilson said.
