Bullis School student Quincy Wilson, who won an Olympic gold medal this summer as the youngest male member ever of the U.S. men’s track team, was the star attraction at Sunday’s Washington Nationals game against the Chicago Cubs at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
Wilson, a junior at the Potomac private school, wore a white Nationals jersey as he threw out the ceremonial first pitch to start the 1:30 p.m. game. He then participated in the traditional Presidents Race held at every home game, waving to the crowd.
The team celebrated the teen’s appearance on social media, calling him “the FASTEST KID ALIVE.”
Wilson’s appearance proved to be Nationals fans’ only opportunity for a celebration as the Cubs trounced the home team 14-1.
In addition to being the youngest U.S. male track Olympian, Wilson took home a gold medal in the 4×400-meter relay from the 2024 Olympics Games held in Paris this summer.
Wilson watched from the stands as his teammates brought home the gold—the third straight Olympic gold medal for the U.S. team in the relay.
Wilson earned the medal by running the opening leg for the U.S. team in the first round of the race, putting the team in seventh place when he handed off the baton. His teammates–Vernon Norwood, Bryce Deadmon and Chris Bailey–made up ground to finish in third place, sending the team to the relay final.
With his appearance, Wilson made history as he became the youngest man to compete in track for the United States at the Olympics.
In June, Wilson fell short by tenths of a second to become the youngest male member to compete as an individual with the team at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon.
