Assinie Wilson’s World-Leading 48.68 Just the Beginning, Says Coach Gregory Little
Assinie Wilson sent a strong message to the world on Saturday, March 22, when he opened his 2025 season with a world-leading 48.68 seconds in the men’s 400m hurdles at the Velocity Fest 16 meet at Jamaica College’s Ashenheim Stadium.
It was the kind of performance that turned heads—not just because of the time, but because it came in his first outing of the year. For Coach Gregory Little, however, it was no surprise. According to the man who has helped guide the resurgence of Wilson and training partner Malik James-King, the performance is the result of months of hard work, competitiveness in training, and a carefully designed preseason plan.
