Wilson became the youngest male American track and field gold medalist in Olympic history.
He was part of the Team USA 4x400m relay squad, featuring in the opening heat and helping them qualify for the final.
Following the conclusion of the Games, Wilson had fans in hysterics with an Instagram post.
“Dang, I really got school in 2 and a half weeks,” he wrote as he posed with his gold medal.
The prodigious track and field talent attends Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland.
In addition to being an incredible runner, Wilson also appears to be a handy football player.
Since the Games his highlights have gone viral, with even the NFL’s official Instagram account posting them.

The post has received more than 450,000 likes.
And plenty of amazed fans have left comments tipping Wilson for superstardom.
“Yep you’re a Kansas City Chief in 2 years buddy,” one wrote.
“Might as well start learning to catch no look passes now, Andy calling in a few years,” a second commented.
“I just know they spam that play every time,” a third joked.
“Don’t let the chiefs see Ts,” a fourth quipped.
Diamonds are forever
Kansas City’s newest Super Bowl rings feature 529 diamonds, 38 rubies and a nod to their game-winning play.
The Chiefs flashed their latest piece of jewelry at a special ceremony on Thursday, June 13.
The new bling features the years of Kansas City’s Super Bowl wins – 1969, 2019, 2022 and 2023.
It also has a handwritten drawing of Andy Reid’s ‘Tom and Jerry’ play which won Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Kansas City beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime in February.
And the rings feature 22 diamonds to represent the points Kansas City scored in the second half and overtime.
Nineteen diamonds also represent their 11 straight winning seasons and eight AFC West titles in a row.
While there is also commemorative patch for the late Norma Hunt, the matriarch of the family which owns the Chiefs who died last summer.
“Yeah if he get a lane don’t even worry about chasing him,” another added.
Wilson is set to return to Bullis School for his third year.
Earlier this month, he name-checked the Team USA colleague that he would like to emulate.
“I know I have multiple world championships, multiple Olympics to go to, so it’s one of many,” he began.
“I will keep looking up, keeping out here like Sydney McLaughlin.
“So I will come back and get better for next year. This is just but a start.”
