“I got two more years of high school (left). I'm going to just let it plan out. We got to see what these two years (hold), you never know if I run 43, you never know,” he said (at 43:38).
On the track end of things, Quincy Wilson has had a strong 2025. During the indoor season, the youngster claimed wins at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix and the New Balance Indoor Nationals. He recently kicked off his outdoor season at the Florida Relays, where he won the 400m title.
