Quincy Wilson, 16-year-old phenom, falls short of automatic Olympic berth with sixth place finish in 400m

New York Times  

EUGENE, Ore. — The magic didn’t quite run out. One of the surprise stars of these U.S. Olympic track and field trials, Wilson still could make the Olympic team in Paris as part of the 4×400 relay pool. If Wilson does make the relay pool, he’d be the youngest American male ever to make the Olympic team in track. Wilson burst onto the national scene 11 days ago with a jaw-dropping performance in the New Balance Nationals Outdoors high school championships in Pennsylvania. In August of 2022 AAU Junior Olympic Games, a 14-year-old Wilson ran the 400 in 47.59, breaking Obea Moore’s 30-year-old record for 14-and-under.
