Quincy Wilson won the gold medal at the New Balance Outdoor nationals in the 400m and spoke about the Olympic Trials. In an interview with Citius Magazine, the youngster spoke about his dream of making it to the U.S. Olympic team and competing with the top American quarter milers at the Olympic Trials in Eugene.

"I'm feeling pretty good, not that much practice going into it, taking a lot of weeks off and time off. But it was overall a good race, just warming up," he said.

"Yeah, so I'm going to the Olympic trials, trying to make the USA team. But as a 16-year-old, I'm just blessed to be in this spot. I'm coming out here, and I'm racing with the big dogs now, so I had to put on my big boy boots," he added.

Quincy Wilson will compete in the Men's 400m semi-finals on June 23, continuing his quest for a spot in the U.S. Olympic team.
