Maryland’s track and field phenom won’t have to run far to get to his first day of college.
Quincy Wilson, who became the youngest U.S. male track Olympian in history in 2024 and topped it off with a gold medal, committed on Monday to the University of Maryland.
As a 16-year-old, Wilson’s profile exploded when he was selected to represent Team USA in Paris in the men’s 4×400 meter relay. He ran in qualifying heats, helping the team reach the final and ultimately win a gold medal.
“You are better than me in every way, and I cannot be prouder,” Quincy’s father said before Wilson announced his commitment.
Wilson, currently a senior at the Bullis School in Potomac, chose Maryland over some of the top track and field programs in the country, including UCLA, USC, South Carolina and Texas A&M
