Quincy Wilson: USA’s 16-year-old 400m relay star set for a remarkable Olympic debut

The teenager's precocious talent won plaudits at the US Olympic trials. Now he is ready to become his country's youngest-ever male track athlete at the Games

There was never a time in 16-year-old Quincy Wilson's life that he wasn't fast. It's a fact that has propelled him to the Paris Olympics, where, if ESPN sources are to be believed, Wilson on Friday will become the youngest US male track and field athlete to ever appear at the Games.

Wilson's mother, Monique, was the first to chase after her son once his feet touched the ground as a 10-month old.
