Quincy Wilson continues to prove he will be a force to be reckoned with in the near future, especially after the 17-year-old speedster completed the 400-meter sprint in Memphis in 44.10 seconds on Saturday to set the under-18 world record — for the fourth time.

A native of Chesapeake, Virginia, Wilson won the 400 at the Ed Murphey Classic ahead of Olympic and World Championship relay medalists Bryce Deadmon and Elija Godwin as well as 2021 Tokyo Olympics champ Steve Gardiner of the Bahamas.

“I went out there and shot out like a bullet,” Wilson said after the race. “I’m super thankful and blessed.”

With the record, Wilson now owns six of the top 10 fastest times ever run by an under-18 sprinter. On the under-20 list, his time of 44.10 seconds is second to American Steve Lewis, who ran 43.87 at the 1988 Seoul Olympics as a 19-year-old.

Worldwide, only three sprinters have bested Wilson’s time this year: South African Zakithi Nene (43.76) and Americans Khaleb McRae (43.91) and Jacory Patterson (43.98).

Last year, Wilson became the youngest American male track and field Olympian when he traveled to the Paris Games as part of the relay team. As he took part in the heats, he also became the youngest male track Olympic gold medalist.
