Quincy Wilson: The High School Student Who Won Olympic Gold

March 6, 2026
At 16, Quincy Wilson became the youngest American male track Olympian ever, winning gold in Paris while still a high school student.

Most 16-year-olds are learning to drive. Quincy Wilson was running for Olympic gold.

The Bullis School standout became the youngest American male track Olympian in history when he competed in Paris in 2024. He didn't just make the team—he helped the 4x400m relay bring home gold.

Wilson writes his goals in his Bible before pursuing them. Olympic gold was on the list. Now committed to Maryland and signed with New Balance, he's already delivered on the biggest stage. The question isn't whether he'll reach the next level—it's how many more records he'll break getting there.
