PHILADELPHIA, Pa. -- It hasn't really mattered where the meet has been, or perhaps who he's raced.
Quincy Wilson, a freshman from Chesapeake, Virginia, has simply made things happen, time and time again in 2023.
On Thursday in the preliminaries of the 4x400 at The Penn Relays, Wilson anchored the Bullis School boys to the fastest time of the day in 3:14.12, thereby solidifying the Maryland powerhouse into the Championship of America final, which runs on Friday at 4:20 p.m. EST.
Wilson's split of 45.06 is among the fastest in meet history and just off the meet record of 44.8 set a decade ago by Javon Francis of Calabar (JAM).
He ended his indoor season with the fastest 400m performance of the season nationally, claiming a national title and a new freshman class record.
On Thursday, Wilson made up a 10 or 15 meter gap on Jamaican-based Calabar.
Of course, Bullis School will face Calabar again on Friday. More competition will find Bullis School in Bishop Loughlin (NY), St. Elizabeth Tech, Seton Hall Prep, St. Jago, Edwin Allen, IMG Academy.
