I have been following this young man for a few years now. Quincy is only a sophomore. In addition to shattering the National High School Record, Quincy also broke the World U-18 Record. I am very proud of my fellow Marylander, who is also not ashamed to give praise to his creator.

I know this website is basically a distance-centric site, but Quincy is a true phenom and prodigy. Since this site loves high school phenoms and prodigies who break high school records, lets celebrate this very nice young man who also breaks world records. Sub-46 indoors by a sophomore, that is crazy. The sky is the limit for Quincy Wilson.

Regrettably, since the blocks had no sensors, WA will not ratify the U18 WR.

Despite this, it was a fantastic run.

I like to see great performances like this. But could explain the blocks? Do you mean this hand timed and not FAT? Or it is FAT but no reaction time false start sensors?

It's FAT. But in addition to FAT, the blocks need to have sensors in them to detect a start faster than .10 . These blocks didn't have that sensor, so the record won't be ratified.

Seems like they could add .1 seconds to the time in situations like this and see if it still beats the record. Same thing happened to that Georgia 400m guy

No. The starting blocks for WA accredited races must have sensors in them to judge if there is a false start or not. They are synched to the timing device as well to make the recording of the timing of the event as precise as possible. Go to utube and look at any pro race for the sprints. you will notice the blocks have wires running from them.

You clearly missed the morning qualifier.

The best double in one day by a high school track athlete.

Ronald Ray’s 45.8 440 yard dash in 1972 is more impressive on a conversion basis, to say nothing of the gear and facilities at the time.

44.37 in earlier heat with 75% of race run in second lane.

LOL ... why are they running "indoors" at the end of April? Spring time is outdoor track season.

Because you don't understand track and field. He ran all time high school record-level performances...TWICE in one day, less than five hours apart. Absolutely unprecedented.

Indoor track. It is you who have no clue about track and field.

The last thing this kid needs is to be turned into Flatt v2 by fanboys.
