Quincy Wilson, OLY[2] (born January 8, 2008) is an American track and field athlete who specializes in the 400 meters. In March 2024, competing for Maryland's Bullis School, he set an under-18 world best for the indoor 400-meter dash.[3] In July 2024, he set the under-18 world best for the outdoor version of the same event. In setting these records, Wilson is also the American high school record holder in the indoor and outdoor 400 meters.
At age 16, he qualified for the men's 4x400m relay pool for the 2024 Summer Olympics, becoming the youngest American track & field male Olympian in history.[4] At the Games, Team USA won the gold medal in the 4 x 400 meters. Although Wilson only competed in the heats, he by extension also earned gold, becoming the youngest track and field Olympic gold medalist in history.[5]
