Quincy Wilson has taken the world by storm once again by breaking the U18 400M World Record in the heats of the U.S. Olympic Trials 2024. The 16-year-old sophomore has been dominating the junior circuit since early this year and made a transition into the senior circuit to fulfill his dream of making it to the U.S. Olympic Team.

Quincy Wilson has been consistently running sub 46s 400m races in outdoor races of the 2024 season, and track critics had predicted the upcoming athlete to put forward great performances in the coming years. Right before the Olympic Games Wilson dominated the pack and won the 400m race with a formidable lead in the New Balance Nationals outdoor clocking 45.13s.

The upcoming American athlete broke the U18 400M World Record by clocking 44.66s in the second heat of the men's 400m at the U.S. Olympic Trials. He stood first in his heat with Chris Bailey taking second place with a time of 44.86s and Justin Robinson placed third with 45.15s.

" This is outrageous," a fan tweeted.
" Stamp this man. Certified‼️," wrote a fan.
"Only a few months ago we got to run against Quincy at Indoor Nationals in the 4x200m. Can’t wait to see how fast he goes the rest of trials," another fan chimed in.

Here are some more fan reactions:

" Damnnnn I love this but also PB in the heats!? I hope his coach has race plans…I’d hate to see him run out his legs in the 1st round," wrote a fan.
" That’s very impressive let’s see how he manages his semis and finals," another fan chimed in.
" Y’all see Bullis on his chest! DMV athletes are different breed🔥🔥," another fan tweeted.
