Quincy Wilson, a sophomore sensation from Bullis High School, continues to electrify the track and field world in 2025. At just 17 years old, Wilson’s performances this season have been nothing short of jaw-dropping.
At the New Balance Nationals Indoor back in March, Wilson stormed to a 400m victory in a blistering 45.76 seconds, smashing a 20-year-old national high school record in the process and defending his title in emphatic style. The performance sent shockwaves through the prep track community and signaled that Quincy was running in a league of his own.
And the momentum kept building. In April, Wilson anchored Bullis’ 4x400m relay team to a gold medal at the prestigious Penn Relays. His split time turned heads, leaving coaches and scouts buzzing about his potential.
A Major Honor from Gatorade
Then, on June 25, 2025, the news fans had been waiting for dropped in a vibrant Instagram story from sports drink giant Gatorade. Gatorade named Quincy Wilson the State Player of the Year for track and field. The announcement was a celebration of an unforgettable season and a young athlete whose impact reaches far beyond the stopwatch.
The Gatorade State Player of the Year honor represents a trifecta of excellence, elite athletic achievement, high academic standards, and exceptional character.
Wilson isn’t just fast, he’s a scholar and a leader. He maintains a strong GPA off the track and leads by rallying teammates and serving his community.
What’s Next for Quincy Wilson?
As the 2025 season heads toward its high-stakes conclusion, Quincy’s journey is only beginning. Next up is the USATF National Junior Olympic Championships in July, where Wilson has his sights set on lowering his own 400m mark and collecting more hardware.
But the bigger stage may soon call. With his combination of age, talent, and poise under pressure, it’s no stretch to imagine Quincy representing the U.S. at major international youth meets like the World Athletics U20 Championships.
And with two more years of high school ahead, recruiters from top collegiate programs are undoubtedly already on his trail.
