Quincy Wilson Breaks U18 400m Record Again

Seventeen-year-old Quincy Wilson broke his own under-18 world best for the fourth time at the 2025 Ed Murphey Classic in Memphis, running 44.10 seconds in the men's 400 meters. Wilson's performance came against a strong field, with Olympic gold medalist Steven Gardiner competing and Bryce Deadmon finishing second in 44.39 seconds. Pending record verification, Wilson now ties for fourth-best in the world for 2025 and is the fastest U18 athlete ever in the event. He has also set six of the top ten U18 400m times in history and recently excelled at the New Balance Nationals and national high school relay records. The meet served as a key preparatory event ahead of the US Track and Field Championships, where Wilson is seen as a rising contender for future global titles. His season has been widely praised by fans and commentators for its dominance and potential.
