Quincy Wilson splits 43.99 as Bullis (3:06.31) breaks US HS NR but loses at Penn

Team ran 3:06 new national record

I think that's the big news. Yeah, I'm sure Quincy and Bullis are disappointed to lose.

But the previous record was 40 years old.

43.99 relay split should probably be mentioned in the title here...That being said this is his best performance since the 44.20 in the open.

Had insane ground to make up and the quality of the legs in front of him was insane. Surprised he took the baton almost 2 seconds back, winner ran a 45.04

All this talk of QW being an Olympian and I feel like this is one of the first races since the Olympics where he reallllllyyyyy showed it.

And where he ran it and who beat him would be useful.

Penn Relays Jamaican Team won

Thanks. It turns out it was a relay and I guess he made up ground. The thread title is just plain worthless.

I am leaving the stadium now disappointed again. Been talking smack to Jamaica last two years. I thought for sure this was it. Have to find one more guy. Collin is a great kid, smart going to Stanford but he not quite fast enough in that 3rd leg for Kingston. A Jamaican coach told me 3:05 and got damnit they did it. I tip my cap. Quincy is him.

Your smack is justified. Jamaican HSs are littered with 19 year olds. It's the biggest reason they can compete with the US, outside of well US FL+CA+TX teams never show up these days at Penn.

with a lot of that run in lane 2 !!!!

Misleading title. Wilson's PB remains 44.20 from last season. It should be changed to specify it was a relay split

With that being said, what a great run. Just snuck under 44. I was afraid 44.20 may be the fastest he'll run, but maybe not

Forgive me if I’m wrong but isn’t a 44.20 from the blocks faster than a 43.99 relay split, when converted? Obviously, the 43.99 is a great performance but I don’t necessarily think it’s his fastest.

Bullis's three other kids ran in the low-mid 47s, very good of course, but I think one of them had run 46.x in qualifying. If each of their other kids had run their best, they might have pulled out the win. Of course, then they might not have needed Wilson to run under 44. In any case, amazing to finally break Hawthorne's 1985 HSR. They are to be very very highly commended.

The Penn record is 3:03.79 by Calabar, so amazingly, Hydel (3:05.93) wasn't really close to that.

Yes, but also watching the video it looks like he was running out in lane 2 for at least a portion of it so it might be close

The year Long Beach Poly won with Bryshon Nellum holding off Yohan Blake still my fav Penn Relays HS 4x4.

Muir with Obea Moore ran away with it, so,,,,,boring.

What Jamaica does is remarkable, that island only has 3mill, but.......everyone related to some sprinter at some level.

Wilson isn't done growing, so....hmmmm?

Here's the video!

I recall seeing that Hawthorne of Cali ran a 3:07 40 or so years ago

All the Quincy haters are miserable! 😂

It looks like he ran about 1/2 of the first turn and the full second turn in lane 2. I figure Quincy ran about 5.8m extra. If that is true, he could have run a 43.37 split in lane 1.
