Wilson won his age group short sprints in that year and participated at the event each year up to 2012 when his talent was eventually spotted by Calabar High, which offered him a scholarship.

Today, Wilson will be at the 35th staging of the JTA/Sagicor Championship as one of two meet ambassadors at the event, which takes place today and tomorrow at the National Stadium. The other meet ambassador is Aiko Jones of Wolmer's Girls.

Wilson grew up in Portland and moved to Kingston with his mother in 2009 but found it hard to get into a Kingston school in the middle of the school year. As a result, he attended Ensom City Primary in St Catherine.
