Sixteen-year-old track and field star Quincy Wilson beat the 45-second mark in the 400-meter race for the third run in a row during these Olympic Trials, but his time of 44.94 wasn’t quite fast enough to etch himself in the history books by qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n

Wilson finished in sixth place, ending a run in which he wowed the world by breaking a 42-year-old record twice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t go back and be disappointed. At the end of the day, I\u2019m 16 running grown-man times,” he said to reporters after the race.<\/p>\n

Wilson, an incoming junior at Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland, ran times of 44.84 and 44.59 in the preliminary round and semifinals prior to the run on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

Quincy Hall, 25, won the 400m with a time of 44.17 seconds. Michael Norman, 26, placed second at 44.41 seconds and Chris Bailey, 24, finished third at 44.42 seconds, according to the Register Guard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite falling shy in the 400m, Wilson still has a chance to become the youngest American man ever to compete in a track and field event in the Olympics. USA Track & Field can choose two more runners for the 4×400 relay team, according to the Washington Post<\/a>, and with his performances both in the Trials and runs at his high school, Wilson has proven his talent.<\/p>\n

The current mark has been in place for 124 years, when, in 1900, 17-year-and-166-day athlete Arthur Newton ran the 2,500-meter steeplechase, per the WaPo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
