QUINCY MF WILSON 44.10: "I went out there and shot out like a bullet."

Thought he went under 44 and almost lost it. Dude is something special.

I didn’t expect this at all like how did he do this. My man’s was barely breaking 46 now almost breaking 44😭🤫

Preformance? Maybe no words indeed.

Well his post-race words were perfect, "If you go seen my races before, I haven't been getting out My coach has been telling me, stay on our process, do what we got to do. And I went out there and shot out like a bullet."

Shot out like a bullet indeed.

PS. I added that to the thread title.

Has he ran a 200 this past year? just how fast is he? He doesn’t look like a sub 20 second 20m guy but he’d have to be under 21

He's never officially broken 21 which is interesting. But he has 20.5x minimum

No videos of this race?

The letsrun degenerates go home devastated!

Beautiful race... it looked like he timed everything perfectly and nailed the lean at the end. Beast!

Yes, I just watched one.

It's on FloTrack. At the moment it's live on YouTube, but you can move around the timeline to find it:

just rewind the yt stream

I figured he was having a downyear after his ridiculous sophomore campaign but nope his coach is just peaking him later.

Amazing! That time makes him the third fastest American this year and ties him with Matthew Hudson-Smith for fourth in the world!

I doubt he could go much faster than 20.8, perhaps 20.7

From watching him run (and his 800 last year), it feels like he operates almost entirely off of special endurance with an inhuman ability to either buffer or clear lactic acid. He holds his top speed for an unreasonably long amount of time and just doesn't slow down in that last 100.

He went into USAs in much worse form last year than he is this year. Even with the state of the US 400 this year I really do think he's a strong contender to make the individual team this year.

You are not running 44.10 with a 20.7 PR.

Unless maybe you are running 1:42-1:43 in the 800m like Korir or Juantorena but that is an even rarer case and definitely not Quincy's realm

Speed is vital no matter what. He said himself he shot out like a bullet, so he probably split really close to his current 200m PB which indicates that he can absolutely run much faster in the open.

But yes, his 800 last year proves he has strong speed endurance but even still he is likely in the mid-to-low 20.xx range for all out 200

I hope he runs the 800m a little more often

Also shoutout Will Sumner, breaking his 3 year old PB with a 45.42 and from lane 1!! (Yes I am a fan)

Hoping he can work his way up with the current top 800m guys somewhere in the future 🤞

Question -- is he going to grow any more, or is this it?
