When he takes the track inside the Stade de France, Wilson will become the youngest American male athlete to have ever participated in an Olympic track and field event.
"When I got the call, I was like, I was ecstatic," Wilson said. "I started running around the house. It was just a moment for me because everybody dreams going to the Olympics as a young kid."
Wilson said he first started dreaming participating in the Games during the 2016 Olympics in Rio, when he was 8 years old. That same year, he began running his premier event, the 400, and he has become a force in it.
