American sprinter Quincy Wilson has once again rewritten the record books, breaking the 400m World U18 Record with an astonishing time of 44.20 seconds at a meet in Florida. 
This marks the third time this year that Wilson, 16, has surpassed his own record, solidifying his status as one of track and field’s most exciting young talents.
The electrifying performance occurred under the lights at the University of Florida in Gainesville, where Wilson competed against some of the nation’s top professional runners.
Wilson’s exceptional speed and endurance were on full display in a race that saw multiple personal bests as he pulled away from runner-up Bryce Deadmon in the final stretch.
Notable among the competitors was Matthew Boling, who finished third with a personal best of 44.84 seconds.
Wilson’s latest achievement represents a significant improvement on his previous personal best of 44.59 seconds, set during the semifinals of the Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon.
The young athlete’s rapid progression is nothing short of remarkable, having broken the under-18 world record twice during those trials before finishing sixth in the final.
With this performance, Wilson now ranks as the sixth-fastest 400-meter runner in the world this year, an extraordinary feat for a high school junior.
