Home/Track & Field

Quincy Wilson might be the next superstar of track and field. The athlete became the youngest track star from the US to win a gold medal at the mere age of 16 in the 4x400m category. While he didn’t compete in the finals, his participation in the heats was enough to guarantee him a medal. It was good to see him win as he was brought to Paris as a very vital part of the 400m team.

Quincy is one of the fastest 400-meter runners in the US right now and could only go upwards from here. His personal best of 44.20 seconds is brilliant at his age. Thus, he is definitely one of the young athletes who could make it big very soon. However, what makes Quincy Wilson superstar material is the fact that he is already gaining attention off the track from fans. In fact, his relationship with fellow Olympic gold medalist Masai Russell’s sister, Solai Russell, has generated a lot of buzz in the track and field community.

This is proven by the response to their recent Instagram post. On November 31st, Quincy Wilson uploaded a carousel of two pictures of him posing for the camera alongside his girlfriend Solai Russell. Going by his Instagram Stories, they had dressed up to attend a concert of hip-hop star Rod Wave. While Quincy was dressed in a black leather jacket, Solai wore a colorful one, filling their photo with contrast. Both of them looked dashing and ready for the concert.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Quincy Wilson the next big thing in track, or just another fleeting young talent?

Have an interesting take?

This post caught the attention of Masai Russell, Solai’s sister, who commented on the post saying, “😍😍😍 period.” The athlete is very close to Quincy Wilson too, as he refers to her as ‘Big Sis’. She was also present at the Rod Wave concert along with them.

Masai’s mother, Dr. Sharon Russell, also commented on the post in a very maternal way, saying, “All I can say is… absolutely gorgeous @solairussell and absolutely handsome @quincywilson “ Thus, it was safe to say that Quincy has the whole family’s approval. But that’s not all. His fans flooded the comments with love for the athlete and his girlfriend as they felt proud of the 16-year-old.

The track and field community can’t get enough of Quincy Wilson and Solai Russell

Quincy Wilson seemed to have caught the attention of the track and field community with his Instagram post with Solai Russell. Many heaped praise on the couple, commenting on how great they both looked together. “Beautiful couple, I love y’all to compliment each other,” said one fan. Quincy and Solai always seem to look great together. When they went homecoming together last month, the couple uploaded photos together in a Rolls Royce, which was their vehicle for the night.

While Solai stunned everyone with a green dress, Quincy Wilson upped the game by wearing a classy white tux. Even at that time, the comments were going gaga for their looks, saying that both of them looked spectacular together. This is how the couple has gained so many well-wishers in the track and field community.

Many athletes have struggled to reach their potential because of problems inside their close circle. But the fact that Quincy has managed to get into such a nice relationship with Solai at this age is really great to see. “Proud of you, nephew,” said one fan. Thus, with his off-track life seemingly very settled right now, he could now concentrate fully on track.

The athlete has talent and has shown that multiple times. “Lil bro winning on and off the track,” said one fan. Thus, Quincy Wilson now has to continue winning on track. By doing so, he could reach the potential of stars like Noah Lyles and Fred Kerley, both of whom are huge inspirational figures to him. Of course, he still has four years to train and make an impact in the next Olympics. Hopefully, he utilizes the time well and wins another gold medal.
