Coolest Kid In America - 16-Year Old Quincy Wilson Wins Gold For Team USA, Immediately Gets Worried About His 1st Day Of School

Go back in time when you were 16 years old. You started to dread this time of year. You probably were heading back to school for football practice, soccer practice, whatever fall sport you played. You knew you only had a couple weeks left of no school and still were holding on to that. Then, if you went to public school, you had to start thinking about it. What to wear on that first day so you didn't look like an idiot. Even at my Catholic school it was what color polo, do you go khakis or the blue pants, what kind of dress shoes did you have to wear? One of the most important decisions of the year for any 16-year old. 

Well, Quincy Wilson just one-upped basically all of America. He can show up wearing a gold medal to the first day of school. You don't get cooler than that. He was part of the relay team that won gold. Yeah, he didn't run in the final, but that doesn't matter. He still competed at the Olympics and got a gold medal at 16. 99.9% of us were just trying to get a drivers license and avoid a voice crack at the worst time. This kid gets to show up with a gold medal and a story that's going to top any other kid in class. 

He also needs to show up to track meets with the gold medal. Imagine racing for his rival high school and getting through a tough day of AP History and Chemistry. You're excited to get out of school early for your meet, enjoying the bus ride over. Finally it's your race and you line up in lane 4  and look over next to you. Just an Olympian racing in a gold medal. I know I'm dumb, but my brain can't comprehend being this good at 16. It's one thing to beat people your age, it's another to make the goddamn US Olympic team, especially in a sport we're good at. This wasn't a fake sport or anything like that, dude was on the US track team.
