Go back in time when you were 16 years old.
You started to dread this time of year.
You probably were heading back to school for football practice, soccer practice, whatever fall sport you played.
You knew you only had a couple weeks left of no school and still were holding on to that.
Then, if you went to public school, you had to start thinking about it.
What to wear on that first day so you didn’t look like an idiot.
One of the most important decisions of the year for any 16-year old.
Well, Quincy Wilson just one-upped basically all of America.
He can show up wearing a gold medal to the first day of school.
You don’t get cooler than that.
He was part of the relay team that won gold.
Yeah, he didn’t run in the final, but that doesn’t matter.
He still competed at the Olympics and got a gold medal at 16.
He also needs to show up to track meets with the gold medal.
Imagine racing for his rival high school and getting through a tough day of AP History and Chemistry.
You’re excited to get out of school early for your meet, enjoying the bus ride over.
Finally it’s your race and you line up in lane 4 and look over next to you.
Just an Olympian racing in a gold medal.
I know I’m dumb, but my brain can’t comprehend being this good at 16.
This wasn’t a fake sport or anything like that, dude was on the US track team.
