Quincy Wilson received special gifts from the Baltimore Orioles during the 2025 track season. The baseball team sent a customized jersey and a couple of stickers to the 17-year-old track and field prodigy.
Wilson had a victorious debut Olympic campaign in Paris in 2024. He ran to help the 4x400m relay team finish first in the heats and advance to the finals. Though he didn't compete in the finals, the Bullis High School athlete earned the gold medal for his participation. His significant career achievement made him America's youngest track and field gold medalist in Olympic history.
Soon after, Wilson received a special honor from the baseball team, the Baltimore Orioles, as they welcomed him to throw the ceremonial first pitch ahead of their matchup with the Houston Astros. He was joined by other Olympians, like Jahmal Harvey (boxer), Kyle Snyder (wrestler), and Ruby Lilley (skateboarder).

Quincy Wilson once expressed how his pending reading assignments made him worried after his Olympic stint
Wilson has been making waves on the track, breaking multiple records with his efforts. He holds the American high school record in 400m indoors and outdoors. Despite a tight track schedule, Quincy Wilson hasn't skipped his school lessons and studies. In a candid conversation in Noah Lyles, Rai Benjamin and Grant Holloway-hosted 'Beyond The Records, ' the Olympian said he soon resumed reading after the Paris Games.
"It was a change for me. I was just like, I've been out this summer. I was supposed to be doing my reading in the village and I didn't do nothing. I went home and I did the reading for like two days and mom said,' Bruh, you think like you're getting out of it', like the jokes that were on tiktok and other things were like I had a 600 page book and then a 200 page book that I had to read."
Wilson kicked off his 2025 outdoor season with a 400m win at the Texas Relays on April 4, 2025.
