7 a time that makes him one of only 25 athletes to ever break 44 seconds in the 400 and if this wasn't already enough of an intimidation Factor Richards was also the literal indoor world champion in the 400 meters back in 2022 and based on his recent running he has only gotten faster with Wilson lining up against these professionals which included Richard zakii n and a previous NCAA Champion will Sumer it seemed as though Wilson would struggle to compete against this field except he didn't because after going through 200 M and 21. 2 Wilson was right behind the two lead Runners and then against all logic Wilson swung wide with 100 m left and down right buried both jereem Richards and zakii N with the 400 met strength of a seasoned Olympic champion this 17-year-old Wilson threw down a time of 45. 6 6 seconds a time that was fast enough to break his own world youth record yet a again this man cannot be stopped despite having a very difficult previous race Wilson came back to the professional scene and took a pretty massive W also can we just appreciate will summer in second this man came from the depths of nowhere to come back and finish in second place this man is dangerous but for Wilson his reign as the greatest 16-year-old in 400 meter history is clearly going to continue into his 17th year because last season where he ran his previous World youth record he had no real competition which makes a huge difference for the indoor 400 as he had a clear path and no one to run around but even with way more complicated racing tactics and the need to swing wide over the final 100 Wilson still ran faster now Wilson's abilities to compete with the best in the world in the 400 m seems to only be reaching higher and higher levels and some are even calling for a potential medal in this year's championship racing season but what might be the single most amazing part of Wilson's story up to this point is that his running is still reaching far beyond his age right now Wilson's running is so incredibly quick for his age brackets that he holds a total of nine separate World Records across the board and for his outdoor 400 met PB of 44.

2 that he ran when he was only 16 that's actually so fast that it ranks it's the fastest time ever run for a 16-year-old and it even outranks any other performances by a 17-year-old or any 18-year-old in fact even in the u20 division all athletes under the age of 20 only one runner in history has ever run faster than Wilson's 44. 2 and this athlete was Steve Lewis from the 1988 Olympics where he incredibly won the gold medal at just 19 in the so games with a finishing time of already qualified for the world's biggest stage multiple times and they probably have won at least some kind of National Record at this point but when looking at the overall rankings of his personal records we also see something pretty crazy just a few weeks ago we saw the athlete gout gout achieve a time of 20.
