Mya Arrendell, one of Maryland's top high school track athletes, transferred from Glenelg High School to the Bullis School this year. The Glenwood native shared the news on Aug. 10 via her Instagram, expressing excitement about becoming a bulldog. “I’m beyond grateful for my family, coaches and supporters who have been with me every step of the way,” Arrendell said. The freshman is dominant at multiple race lengths, securing elite times in 200-meter and 400-meter competitions. Arrendell particularly stood out last May with her performance at Morgan State for the East Coast Invitational. She achieved a 23.77 time for the 200 meters and earned her place in the Maryland record books. Arrendell’s 200-meter time ranks as the third fastest in the history of the MPSSAA championship, according to the Howard County High School Sports Almanac. In the 14U division, Arrendell competed in the AAU Junior National Championship this summer. She won the 400-meter race and finished with silver at the 200-meter. Bullis flipped Arrendell from Glenelg with one of the best track programs in the country. The Bulldogs boast four consecutive ISL championships for women's track and the men’s team has also had a dominant decade. Head Coach Joe Lee has crafted a remarkable dynasty that continues to attract new athletes. In his 12 seasons at Bullis, at least one of the school’s track teams has won a championship every year, excluding those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Quincy Wilson ‘26 is the current face of the Bullis program, following his record-setting performances over the last two years. The senior competed on the 2024 Olympic roster and became the youngest American ever to participate in track and field. Arrendell previously relayed her excitement about seeing Olympians at meets to the Baltimore Sun in June. Competing at Bullis will allow her to share a team with one. As she begins her freshman year, Arrendell projects to be the future face of Bullis track and will look to keep the Bulldogs at the top of the ISL.

Bullis School sophomore Quincy Wilson has taken the track and field world by storm, smashing records and etching his name into history at the young age of 15. At the first round of the men's 400m Olympic trials, Wilson clocked an impressive time of 44.66 seconds, achieving more than just a personal best. Wilson's remarkable performance in the Olympic trials not only secured his place in the semifinals but also shattered two significant records. He surpassed Darrell Robinson's longstanding national high school record of 44.69 seconds, which had stood since 1982. Additionally, Wilson bested the world U18 mark of 44.84 seconds, previously held by Justin Robinson since 2019. Robinson lining up in the same race added a compelling layer to this record-breaking achievement. Just last year, he clinched the 400-meter title at the New Balance Nationals Indoor, impressing the New Balance board enough to offer and make Quincy one of the youngest athletes signed to a significant NIL deal. As Quincy Wilson prepares for the men's 400m semifinals, scheduled for today, all eyes are on this young prodigy as he looks to continue his journey to Paris and prove that the future is now.
