Teenage sprint sensation Quincy Wilson has once again hogged the spotlight for his sensational performance at the Penn Relays 2024. He ran a swift 44.69s split in the 4x400m, helping his team to finish third in the High School Boys' 4x400 Championship of America event.

As a result, the Bullis School finished the relay race in a time of 3:13.10, just behind Kingston College (3:11.86), and Excelsior (3:12.94), who came first and second, respectively. This was Kingston’s third successive victory at the Penn Relays 2024.

Watch the athlete run yet another quick time as he takes the world by storm once again on Saturday, April 27. Travis Miller, who is the sports director and manages the social media at NBC Sports, uploaded the video on his X (formerly Twitter) handle.

Quincy Wilson delivered the performance just a few hours after guiding his team in winning the heats of the 4x400m relay event with a record-breaking 44.37s split. It is also the quickest 4x400m split by a high school athlete in the history of the Penn Relays.

Despite Bullis runner Alex Lambert falling while running the first leg in the preliminaries, the team was able to make a comeback, courtesy of a phenomenal split from the Maryland high school sophomore.

Quincy Wilson first gained prominence back in March when he smashed the 400m indoor high school record, which was set 20 years ago, at the New Balance Indoor Track & Field Championships 2024 with a time of 45.76s. Having earlier won the event in the previous edition, the 16-year-old successfully defended his 400m title with a new World U18 record.

Six-time world champion Noah Lyles, who achieved a treble at the World Athletics Championships 2023, was impressed by this achievement of Wilson. He commented on X (formerly Twitter) about the youngster, stating:

“He is HIM!”

Some of Quincy Wilson’s other achievements include clocking a time of 1:01.27 in the boys' invitational 500 meters at the VA Showcase in January 2024 with a second-best (No.2) performance in the U.S. age-group history. He finished 0.02s off Will Sumner's national high school record.
