Quincy Wilson, a 16-year-old sprinter from Maryland<\/a>, has made the United States Olympic team for this summer’s games in Paris.<\/p>\n

He isn’t eligible in his home state of Maryland for his full driver’s license<\/a> yet, but Wilson is nonetheless part of the pool for the United States’ 4x400m relay team. A tremendous weekend at the United States Olympic Track and Field finals has propelled Wilson into the Paris games.<\/p>\n

Wilson, who set the U18 United States record in the 400m over the weekend, was notified on Sunday that he is part of the relay pool. In Sunday’s finals<\/a>, Wilson ran an impressive 44.94 that saw the teenager finish sixth.<\/p>\n

His 44.59 time on Saturday in the 400m set the U18 400m national record.<\/p>\n
