Quincy Wilson Becomes Youngest U.S. Olympic Sprinter

Quincy Wilson, a 16-year-old from Bowie, Maryland, made history by becoming the youngest male track athlete to represent the United States at the Olympics during the men's 4x400 meter relay qualifier in Paris. In his debut, Wilson ran the lead-off leg, clocking a time of 47.27 seconds, which placed the team in seventh position before his teammates rallied to secure a third-place finish and qualification for the final. Despite a challenging start, Wilson expressed gratitude for the experience and acknowledged the support of his teammates, who helped him through the race. Prior to the Olympics, he set two under-18 world records in the 400 meters at the U.S. trials. If Team USA finishes in the top three in the final, Wilson would become the youngest American male to win an Olympic medal in track. Wilson's remarkable journey includes a sponsorship deal with New Balance and a series of record-breaking performances leading up to the Games.
