At just 16 years of age, the Bullis High School’s sophomore’s electrifying performances, at such a nascent age no less, in track and field have already garnered top praise by Noah Lyles. This has drawn the attention of major brands those are eager to align with his burgeoning talent. 

In a blazing display of talent at the Florida Relays, Quincy Wilson shattered expectations by clocking in at an astonishing 45.19 seconds in the 400-meter dash. As Wilson embarks on this unprecedented journey, the sports world eagerly anticipates how he will leverage this opportunity to inspire future generations. He was also recently announced as one of the many faces of a sparkling NIL deal, one that will stand the test of time.
