Quincy Wilson’s track coach’s pep talk behind the team’s remarkable achievement revealed

Wait 5 sec.

Before June 22, the last time Quincy Wilson lined up with his Bullis High School teammates for a 4x400m outdoor relay didn’t go as expected. It happened back in April during the opening day of the Penn Relays at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. After dominating their heat, the squad—featuring Mickey Green, Cameron Homer, Colin Abrams, and Quincy—was seen as the frontrunner to win the final. But reality struck hard.Although they clocked an impressive 3:06.31, Bullis had to settle for second place behind Kingston College U20, who narrowly edged them out with a 3:05.93 finish. The result echoed their performance at the Pepsi Florida Relays earlier that month, where they ran a slower 3:09.97. So, how did they rebound from those setbacks? That’s a question best answered by Bullis head coach Joe Lee.On June 22, at the New Balance Nationals, Quincy Wilson and his teammates stepped onto the track for the boys’ 4x400m relay with one goal: to rewrite the narrative. Determined to turn things around, they leaned into the motivation delivered by their coach just moments before the race. In the mixed zone, Coach Joe Lee fired them up with a passionate message: “I need everything. You need everything. Don’t sell on your brother. You need everything. I need everything. Everything. Everything. If you don’t get paid, I need you to leave the track empty. Leave the track empty.” That was the clear order: “Leave the track empty.” His demand was crystal clear—leave nothing behind. Then came the rallying cry: “This is your moment. Write history right now. One, two, three. Dominate.” And that’s exactly what the Bullis team went out and did. “LEAVE THE TRACK EMPTY!”The final instructions by Bullis’ Coach Joe Lee to Alexander Lambert, Cameron Homer, Colin Abrams, and Quincy Wilson before they went on to break the New Balance Nationals Outdoor 4x400m record in 3:08.28. pic.twitter.com/QQhtW7xtzY— CITIUS MAG (@CitiusMag) June 22, 2025During the race, Bullis School set a New Balance Nationals meet record, clocking in at 3:08.28, with Quincy Wilson delivering a blazing 45.40 anchor leg to seal the performance. The report is updating now…. The post Quincy Wilson’s track coach’s pep talk behind the team’s remarkable achievement revealed appeared first on EssentiallySports.
