Running sensation Quincy Wilson, 16, is going to the Paris Olympics, becoming the youngest American male to be part of the Olympic track team.
Wilson, who will be on the 4x400 relay pool, posted on his social media about the selection, with the caption: "WE GOING TO THE OLYMPICS." On Monday, he posted a photo with the official uniform with the "USA" emblazoned on it on his Instagram Story.
A rising high school junior at Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland, Wilson made it all the way to the final of the 400-meter final at the U.S. Olympic trials in Eugene, Oregon, on June 24. He finished sixth in the race, which kept his Olympics hopes alive. Despite his final position, he said he was "so thankful" to be part of it.
