16-year-old new track sensation Quincy Wilson doesn’t have his driver’s license yet but if he keeps running as fast as he does, he may not need one. Two days after setting the 400-meters under-18 world record that had lasted 42 years, Wilson broke the record again at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, OR. His 44.59 time Sunday bested his mark of 44.66 from two days prior.
The Bullis sophomore finished third in his heat and advanced to the 400-meter finals Monday.
