Allie Wilson (born March 31, 1996) is an American middle-distance runner specializing in the 800 metres. She was the 2024 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships winner in the 800 m.
Her first major breakthrough came in 2018 during her third year at Monmouth University, advancing from 2:11 to a 2:04 best in the 800 m and qualifying for her first NCAA Championships. After a best finish of 5th at the 2019 NCAA finals, Wilson signed as a professional with the Atlanta Track Club coached by Amy Yoder Begley and her husband Andrew. She went on to finish sixth at the Olympic Trials and fourth at the 2022 U.S. championships, just one spot away from making a U.S. global championship team. At the 2022 NACAC Championships, she won the silver medal in the 800 metres.
Wilson is from Wallingford, Pennsylvania, where she attended Strath Haven High School. She started running the 800 m in 2005, under the Catholic Youth Organization at St. John Chrysostom Catholic Church.
At Strath Haven, she split her fall seasons between cross country running and soccer while working as a lifeguard. She was the Delaware County Daily Times 2013 Girls' Soccer Player of the Year, and was considered the best defender in Delaware County. Despite getting offers from NCAA Division I schools to run cross country and track, Wilson said that soccer was her "main sport".
In 2014, Wilson's Strath Haven team qualified for the Penn Relays Championship of America in the 4 × 800 metres relay for the fifth year in a row, with the help of Wilson splitting 2:17 on the third leg. The team's best finish in the Championship of America finals was 4th, at the 2011 edition when both Wilson and her sister Val split 2:15 on the first and second legs.
From fall 2014 to spring 2019, Wilson ran for the Monmouth Hawks track and field program, coached by Chris Tarello. She failed to qualify for the NCAA championships her freshman and second years, and during her junior year she experienced a fifth metatarsal fracture on her foot after jumping into a swimming pool.
After recovering, she qualified for the 2018 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the 2018 NCAA East regional in Tampa, Florida. Running from the second heat, both Wilson and competitor Laurie Barton split 2:04.58 tying for the final qualifying spot, a difference that was later resolved in Wilson's favor by just 0.001 seconds. In Eugene, Wilson finish just 7th in her semi-final and did not make the finals, although her time of 2:05.55 would have advanced if she had been placed in the third heat. During the 2018 season overall, Wilson improved her personal bests from 2:11 and 4:33 in the 800 m and 1500 m to 2:04 and 4:22 respectively.
On February 8, 2019 at the Boston University Valentine Invitational, Wilson ran an 800 m personal best of 2:02.65, the number 2 time in the NCAA that season. Wilson competed in her first senior national championship at the 2019 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships, while still a college senior. Racing the rarely-run 1000 metres event, she qualified for the finals and finished 6th overall in a time of 2:41.76. Later that season at the 2019 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships, Wilson improved upon her placing to finish 4th in the finals. In doing so, she became the first Monmouth Hawk to finish top-8 at an NCAA Division I Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships.
