HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The next fastest person in the world could be from right here in Houston.
Video on social media shows 8-year-old Junior Olympian Jayce Wilson running an incredible 18.2 mph on a treadmill at Armed Sports Performance gym.
Not only did he reach incredible speeds… but he did it with ease.
According to Jayce’s dad, Randall Wilson, the 8-year-old competed in the 2021 AAU Junior Olympics and placed 6th in the under-8s 100-meter race.
His parents often share his sporting progress on Instagram.
“Jayce is very competitive, and if he has a goal, he will not stop until he meets it,” Randall said. “He loves all things sports. He is also an amazing football player.”
