Love and track spikes—Quincy Wilson’s got both laced up. The 17-year-old sprint sensation, who’s been leaving his competition in the dust all season, just gave fans another reason to cheer that had absolutely nothing to do with medals. This time, it was all about the heart. It was Solai Russell’s (IYKYK, that’s his girlfriend) 16th birthday, and Quincy made sure to deliver the perfect shout-out. So, how did he do it? With just a handful of words that had fans double-tapping faster than he runs the 400m. But what did he say?

Well, for that, we might need to look at his socials. Over on Instagram, Quincy Wilson shared a snap of a picture-perfect moment with his girlfriend, and honestly, it was everything. Quincy looked sharp as ever in a beige tuxedo with black satin lapels, sleek black pants, and black sunglasses. He’s sitting casually on a modern armchair, leaning in just enough to give off those ‘gentleman’ vibes. But what makes this moment pop? His stunning girlfriend, Solai Russell.

Solai’s stealing the show in a shiny green strapless dress with a dramatic high slit and a long train. She’s standing behind him, holding her long reddish ponytail in one hand, and the two of them? Pure chemistry. And, of course, Quincy nailed the caption, keeping it sweet and simple: “Happy birthday @solairussell ❤️ Enjoy your day!” But Solai isn’t just Quincy’s girlfriend.

Solai Russell is a rising track athlete herself and the younger sister of Olympic gold medalist Masai Russell. Talent clearly runs in that family, and these two have been cheering each other on through races, homecoming nights, and now birthday celebrations. While the exact start date of their relationship isn’t publicly documented, their bond became more visible in late 2024. And it seems like Solai’s mom has already given her stamp of approval to their relationship.

Together through thick and thin, Quincy Wilson and Solai’s support

Quincy Wilson and Solai Russell’s relationship started to turn heads back in October 2024. The couple made their public debut at homecoming, arriving in a white Rolls-Royce Ghost, looking every bit like the power couple they’re becoming. Quincy rocked a tan tuxedo jacket while Solai stole the show in a metallic green strapless dress.

Their grand entrance was just the beginning, as they’ve since shared more moments, including a fun night at a Rod Wave concert, where Solai showed off her pride for Quincy in the comments. She wrote, “Could never be more proud,” showing just how much she supports Quincy. But what makes their relationship even more heartwarming is the support they’ve received from Solai’s family.

Her Olympic gold medalist sister, Masai, and their mom, Dr. Sharon Russell, have been full of praise for Quincy, admiring his respectful nature and the way he treats Solai. Dr. Sharon Russell has even gone on record, saying, “Nothing but the best.” As their bond grows stronger, it’s clear that they’re not only cheering each other on in their athletic pursuits but building something special together that fans can’t help but root for.
