Chesapeake Native Quincy Wilson: Sprinting into Olympic History

As the world turns its attention to the grand stage of the Olympics, we at Siebert Realty are beaming with pride to cheer on a local! Quincy Wilson, a Chesapeake native who grew up just a stone’s throw from Sandbridge, is set to make history this Friday as he competes in the U.S. men’s 4×400-meter relay. At just 16 years old, Quincy is about to become the youngest American male ever to compete in an Olympic track and field event—a remarkable achievement that has the entire country buzzing with excitement.

Born in Chesapeake, Quincy spent his early years soaking up the coastal charm of our area before his family moved to Maryland to pursue greater opportunities in track and field. Despite his young age, Quincy has shown tremendous dedication and talent, posting three straight times under 45 seconds in the 400 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials. While he narrowly missed qualifying for the individual 400-meter event, his outstanding performance earned him a spot on the men’s 4×400 relay team, where he will run the lead leg.

Quincy’s athletic prowess is undoubtedly a family trait. His father, Roy, played football at the U.S. Naval Academy, his mother excelled in basketball and soccer at the collegiate level, and his sister Kadence is currently a track star at James Madison University. With such a strong athletic pedigree, it’s no wonder Quincy is sprinting his way into the record books.

Quincy’s roots in Chesapeake connect him to our community, and his achievements serve as an inspiration to us all. As we prepare to watch him compete on Friday morning at 5:05 a.m. EST, we can’t help but feel a surge of patriotism and excitement.

So, set your alarms and get ready to cheer for Quincy Wilson as he represents Team USA on the world stage. Let’s show our support for this incredible young athlete who grew up in our very own backyard. Go Quincy, and Go Team USA!
