Seventeen-year-old Quincy Wilson is out here making the pros sweat, and honestly, we’re loving every second of it. His season opener at the VA Showcase 2025 was supposed to be a grand entrance—you know, the kind where he stuns the world—but, well… he lost. No big deal, though. Fast forward to the Millrose Games, and Wilson was back for redemption, lining up in the 600m against elite 800m studs Isaiah Jewett, Will Sumner, and Brandon Miller. The real question: Could he shock the world this time? Spoiler alert—nope.
Quincy didn’t come in first. Or second. Or third. He finished fourth. But he still ran a blazing 1:16.20, smashing his personal best! Meanwhile, Will Sumner, 22, went full beast mode, winning in 1:14.04 and making history as the third-fastest ever in the event. Isaiah Jewett (1:14.17) and Brandon Miller (1:14.37) also threw down incredible times. Sure, it was Quincy’s second loss of the season, but let’s be real—he’s 17, running against grown men, and closing in on records. Just a few days back he was a hero and now!
Quincy Wilson’s season opener? Yeah… not exactly a fairytale. He took an L in the 500m, watching Andrew Salvodon steal the spotlight. But if there’s one thing Wilson doesn’t do, it’s stay down. Fast forward to the 2025 New Balance Grand Prix, where he lined up against track powerhouses like Will Sumner, Jereem Richards, and Zakithi Nene. At 200 meters, he was chilling in third, looking way too comfortable. And then? Boom. Turbo mode activated. He shifted gears so fast it looked like he had a secret shortcut, leaving the competition in the dust.
He blasted through the finish in a jaw-dropping 45.66, smashing his own U.S. high school and World U18 indoor records. Meanwhile, Sumner (46.27), Richards (46.49), and Nene (46.56) were left staring at the clock like, wait, what just happened? Quincy just reminded everyone why he’s the youngest U.S. Olympian—and let’s be honest, this is only the beginning.
