WORLD RECORD HOLDERS
Teenage phenom Quincy Wilson took the track world by storm at Hayward Field with his U-18 world-leading time of 44.66 in the 400m. In doing so, Wilson broke Sun Devil senior Justin Robinson's U-18 400m World Record of 44.84 set in 2019.
The previous two U-18 world-record holders running side-by-side was one of the many incredible storylines to come from a thrilling eight days of action in Eugene.
The last two guys to hold the U18 400m world record??
