After chopping his 400 HSR down to 44.10 in ’25, precocious Quincy Wilson will look to make more history in his senior season. (JOHN NEPOLITAN)
SIX OF LAST year’s No. 1-rated All-Americas are back for ’26. That’s one more than a year ago, and a healthy number when you consider two heavyweight ’25 No. 1s called their prep careers early: HS Boys Athlete Of The Year Cooper Lutkenhaus (turned pro) and putter Jackson Cantwell (early start to college at Miami).
The ’24 Boys AOY, Quincy Wilson (400), remains in the HS ranks for his senior season and is joined by No. 1 returnees Tate Taylor (100/200), Kendrick Joshua (300H/400H), Victor Olesen (PV), Miles Nesmith (TJ) and Bryson Jacobs (JT).
Classes: *** = frosh; ** = soph; * = junior; all others are seniors. + = time converted from metric race; w = illegally wind-aided; (A) = altitude over 1000m (in aided events only).
The mark listed with each athlete reflects his PR, through the first weekend of February. The top 10s in standard events:
