SAINT-DENIS, France — Quincy Wilson is in line to race for the Americans in the men's 4x400 meter relay on Friday, which would make the 16-year-old the youngest male to compete for the U.S. track team. Wilson posted on his Instagram page a picture of himself with the reminder to "tune in at 5:05 a.m. Friday morning" (on the U.S. East Coast) for the men's relay. At the Olympic trials earlier this summer, Wilson broke the under-18 world record twice with times of 44.66 and 44.59 that put him in the final of the 400 meters. He finished sixth there and was later chosen as part of the U.S. relay pool for the Olympics.
