Quincy Wilson makes feelings known on receiving major track honor for fourth consecutive time

Quincy Wilson recently expressed his gratitude after receiving the All Met Spring Athlete of the Year for the fourth time. Wilson received the honor for his remarkable performance during the course of the indoor and outdoor seasons.

The Olympic gold medalist clicnhed the 400m New Balance Indoor title during the 2025 edition by posting a meet record of 45.71 seconds. The 17-year-old competed at the 2025 New Balance Grand Prix on February 2 in Boston and registered a high school national record and an under-18 world best in the event by clocking 45.66 seconds. In April 2025, he competed in the 4x400m relay at the Penn State Relays and recorded a stunning split of 43.99 seconds after running the anchor leg.

His lap contributed to the team's victory and shattered the 40-year-old record, helping the Bullis team to set a new U.S. high school national record of 3:06.31. The 17-year-old kicked off his outdoor season at the Florida Relays and recorded the second-fastest time in the country during the outdoor season. The young athlete from Bullis School in Maryland expressed his gratitude and pride in receiving the honor and wrote:

"Blessed to receive All Met Spring Athlete of the Year. It’s an honor to receive this award 4 consecutive times. #thankyougod."

Quincy Wilson once opened up on how his mother, Monique Wilson, plays a crucial role in his success by frequently reminding him not to lose focus. He highlighted how his mother points out and tells him when he is not focused.

"She says all the time, ‘Stay focused.’” If she sees me doing something – if I’m on my phone watching TikTok and I don’t answer – she’ll say ‘You’re not focused,'" stated Quincy Wilson.

Along with his incredible performance on the track, Wilson also prioritizes his academics. The 17-year-old scores straight As and not less than 94 on his report cards in his academic career. Notably, the Bullis School athlete is developing an interest in mechanical engineering.

"The feeling you get when you have a bad grade, I just can’t live with that feeling. A lot of people say, ‘Quincy, you can just go out there and just do anything in the classroom.’ But I can’t live with that feeling." (via forbes.com)

His recent victory at the New Balance Nationals Outdoor Championships marked his sixth national title.
