Olympic gold medalist Quincy Wilson will close out his high school career at Franklin Field when New Balance Nationals Outdoors kicks off June 18-21 in Philadelphia.
One of the most decorated prep athletes in recent history, Wilson will compete in his final New Balance Nationals appearance alongside a strong group of New Balance NIL athletes who have posted some impressive performances this season.
Two men’s milers arrive fresh off breaking the four-minute barrier. Jackson Spencer ran 3:57.24 and Carter Smith followed with a 3:59.00 at a recent meet in St. Louis, earning both athletes a spot in one of track and field’s most exclusive clubs. Their matchup at Franklin Field is one of the most anticipated races on the schedule.
The women’s distance events feature Paige Sheppard, who recently set a personal best of 2:00.65 in the 800 meters. That time places her at No. 7 on the high school all-time list and makes her one of the favorites heading into race weekend. Sianni Wynn adds to the star power after winning her 15th career Meet of Champions title in New Jersey, a career achievement few prep athletes can match.
Also entered among the New Balance NIL athletes are Abby Hennessy, Mia Sirois, Cameron Homer, Olivia Harris, Cole Boone, Reagan Moore, Caleb Winders, Mallory Weller, Trent Daniels, Mackenzie Skelly, Celia Schulte, and Sophia Thompson.
New Balance Nationals Outdoors is one of the premier high school track and field meets in the country. Competition runs June 18-21 at Franklin Field in Philadelphia.
