This young man is impressive for his talent and maturity. He shared words to live by for anyone. He is an example of good home training in a loving family.

Wonderful! He is also mature beyond his years. And calling the interviewer, “sir” you know 1, he is still a youngster and 2, his is well raised by his parents. So sweet!

I was there in person at the Olympic Trials to see Quincy race. He got a standing ovation from all of us. It was so awesome to see this young man race in person. I will definitely be cheering him on at the Olympics but also in the years to come! 😃🏃🏿‍➡️

I'm a high school counselor in the DMV area and I am blown away by how intelligent this stunt athlete is! What a great well out together interview. Very authentic and nature speaker. He answered every question thoroughly without missing a beat! Congratulations and if companies out there have not signed this young man to multi million dollar contracts what are you waiting for!!! Nevermind track he will make millions for companies! Great job Quincy! You are a Star and role model for the world!

“Blown away with how intelligent this stunt athlete is” I am blown away at this micro aggression you just made as if young African American men are not intelligent. Sounds as if you are well meaning but your choice of words are lacking.

@ashabirich1776 8 күн бұрын

I agree with what you meant to say/write; as well as what you wrote my dear high school counselor. MS Spell/grammar check is your friend (as it is mine, because typos happen as our minds fly faster than our fingers lol, and we should always strive to improve our command of grammar.) I mean this kindly.

What an amazing accomplishment. I have watched since your Freshman year, and again at this years Penn Relays. Though I was happy that our Jamaican athletes prevailed at Penn’s, you were a fierce competitor. Watching you compete in Oregon for the U.S. trials was a joy, and so happy you got the well deserved call to be part of the relay pool. With such great interviewing skills, you are destined for greatness.
