Boling's selection would be considered unfair by many mostly because they would purport he was only selected because of his skin color.
Most collegiate sprinters have difficulty when it comes to competing against professional athletes especially in track and field. They are juggling a rigorous class schedule and trying to train while your pros have experienced coaches like Kirsee who know how to train them so that there body is peaking at just the right time for Nationals or Worlds. For example Sha'carri Richardson has posted her best times since turning pro. I think she trains with Kersee now. If you look back at her collegiate times they were good but nowhere near the times of Frasier -Pryce, or Shericka Jackson.Erryon Knightley went straight from high school to the pros. He is training alongside the eletes and competing against them. He has a trainer who regulates his diet, training regimen so that he peaks at just the right time. Ever wonder why Knightley is mirroring Usain Bolts times. Terrance Laird was posting really good times his Senior Year at LSU and that's great at the collegiate level but he is finding himself somewhere around the middle of the pack in the pros.
Boling had a great indoor season. Every runner especially you and has a coach who may not be right for him he might want to change things up or his body need a rest
Going to Georgia was a big mistake when he could’ve been in Houston and got coached by Carl Lewis. Georgia had no ncaa champs in sprinting but Houston, his hometown does.
@@illapuproductions Being a great athlete does not guarantee that he will be a great coach. Houston's best athlete, Shaun Maswanganyi, coached by Lewis, has won fewer titles than Boling. The South African champ at the NCAA's Outdoors this year finished fifth in both the 100m and the 200m. Unfortunately, Lewis has not gotten him to relax and he tightens up toward the end of his races.
Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!! I can't wait. Boling being a fellow Texan is a beast. I'm always critical, sure yet I have high hopes for him making USAtf in the 400m. Doesn't look like 200m will be him. But this is an amazing year for TnF Peace N Love
Boling needs a Male coach…… his female coach is not bringing out the best he can be…… he had a male coach in high school…… and we all know how well he did. Time to give coach Cursey a call and pay him what ever he is asking. 🤔
I looked it up and here are the split times for the US team members who won their World Championship Semi-Final over India: Trevor Bassitt: 45.29, Matthew Boling: 44.39, Christopher Bailey: 44.31, Justin Robinson: 44.48. Why Robinson was chosen despite having slower split time than Bailey and Boling is unexplained. Trevor Bassitt led off in the first leg and that meant he did not have a running start the way the other three did. All of the relay team get golds even if they didn't run in the Gold Medal winning final. In the Semifinal Boling made a huge improvement over his time of 45.17 which he ran in the USA Track Finals a month ago finishing sixth. Of course, he did not have a running start in that competition. I hope he'll be back running for Georgia next season. He qualifies for an extra year because of COVID. I really enjoy the back and forth of opinions about him.
Watched him place 3rd in the 400 semis. He needs more strength to turn over the final 50 meters and he will be 44 sec+ but he is still a bit short on that. I expect him to finish last in the final but with a new training regime for the 400 he will be no doubt a force to be reckoned with next year.
@@jacobdoyle420 I was talking specifically about the US being weaker in the long jump so Boling would have a better chance of making a team. That said the LJ is ALSO weaker on the world stage than any of the 100/200/400 m. Of course there are good athletes in the LJ, but not to the depth of the sprints. His best LJ of 8.25 m, which he did indoors last year would put him just outside the top 10 this year. His 100 and 400 would not put him that high. His 200 best comes close, but again the US is so deep at 200 that just making the team puts you as a medal threat.
Boling does not have to run another step to be a legend at the NCAA level. He peaked earlier in his career. So what? He's beaten nearly all of those who have competed against him in the NCAA's at one time or another. It's possible he may have a nagging injury that we don't know about but I believe he has already reached his prime which is NOT a crime.
@@vernonfrance2974 Never said it was or that he's lacking in any way. I'm merely confused as to why this video is titled "He's finally doing it." What exactly did he do to prompt a video is what I'm wondering.
I still think his best event was the LJ. Anyone with his speed and with far from optimal training (he was focused on the 100m/200m) jumped 27'+ has a real shot at Olympic medals. I mean that jump right there would have gotten him bronze at the previous Olympics. None of his sprint PRs would have gotten him into the finals in the last Olympics. I think they are focusing on the wrong thing.
Y'all keep hugging that ONE jump... lol. Question is, has he CONSISTENTLY been able to make the jump, year after year? No. Matt's a good LJer but not a great one. He knows it. Hence, he does it once ina while and not outdoors, all last year.. Nor has he even done it much in past few years. Also, you guys gassed him up to think he was the great white lightning at 100/200. That's where all the money is at. Not the LJ, unfortunately. Dude should've stayed there and the 400... Bought his own hype
@@ThaSpeedsterZ The jump was 'indoor' meaning no wind or outside forces. The reason he never focused on training the LJ is because of the higher risk of injury and the 100/200 is the more alluring event. Landing wrong in the long jump or sticking the plant foot out at takeoff could be a season ending injury. Considering he has only jumped minimal times and trained minimal times because of that, it might be time to focus on what he always was best at - that being the LJ. You all always say 'great white hype' , how about respecting one of the best long jumpers in the world and not even focusing on it rather than bring race into the equation. However, when your argument hinges on paper thin substance and abnormal subjectiveness I guess the only way to add any weight to what you say is to try and bring race into it.
Unfortunately, although I root for Matt, he's been running slower than he has ever run since probably junior year in high school. Don't know why he's regressed so much, but he needs to improve dramatically to make it past the first round in either the 400 or 200. Hopefully I'm wrong.
@@ronald8792 Yes, agreed, but this spring his times in the 100 and 200 have been the slowest of his college career. That is all I'm saying, his form and times have not been good lately.
@@mstrbillable I think timing is almost arbitrary because so many things can effect it. You have different track surfaces (poured polyurethane, rolled rubber) surface thickness, weather, altitude and of course clock manipulation.
He needs to move on from college and get with a team of coaches that can get him right... mainly his head... needs to shake the pressure and expectations of others.
@sophry7556 His forte is business and he doesn't need to be a world beater since his name recognition from his outstanding successes over a very long career are fine - especially since he represents the outdoors equipment companies and not track and field. I think he should NEVER go pro but could compete in his final year of eligibility next year at Georgia.
@@vernonfrance2974 I wouldn't complain if he left for greener pastures. But, I think he still has something left to give, in some capacity.... he has the rest of his adult life to be a prominent businessman, but you can only compete for so long in T&F.
@@sophry7556 I believe your comment is very fair and reasonable. I am just afraid if he tries to compete against the top athletes beyond the NCAA level he will not have great results. He only beat Laird and Fahnbulleh once or twice each and they have not had much success against the best. I don't expect him to be on the podium in Eugene this weekend so continuing on beyond his last year of eligibility in the NCAA's next year, unless he has a great break through in 2024, does not seem to be a propitious use of his achievements, time and intellect. I hope he surprises me but I think that anything other than marked success will give his detractors the pleasure of putting him down while they continue to ignore how outstanding he has been at the high school and collegiate levels.
@@vernonfrance2974 Thank you Vernon, but if he lives and competes for what others think, then he's already in a bad place mentally... that's why I said he's needs a team that can also work on his mind, along with his training. Fans and haters come and go. It's all up to him and his personal goals. How he overcomes adversity, just like so many great athletes who have come before him. But, you're right, the field isn't getting any slower; so he'll need to "move quickly" on his decision and choose the right path and events. Also, whether or not he gets sponsored (and by whom), will say a lot about his future, I think.
Looking at his body type...it would take a few years of training but I think he could set decathlon records he has jumped and pole vaulted in high school.
Boling has scheduled his training this year to peak at trials. I would not count him out in the 200m. USA gets to send 4. I, for one, think he is going to shock you all and make the 200m team.
@certifiedchaos4643 Here are the results of the 400m. Do you think his sixth place is good enough for a place on a relay team? PLACE ATHLETE RESULT 400M 1 Bryce Deadmon NIKE WCS 44.22 2 Vernon Norwood New Balance WCS 44.39 3 Quincy Hall adidas 44.41 4 Justin Robinson Arizona State WCS 44.47 5 Ryan Willie Florida WCS 44.87 6 Matthew Boling Georgia 45.17 7 Chris Bailey Arkansas WCS 45.25 8 Khaleb McRae Alabama 45.50
These college athletes are over raced and that's why they don't do well at the US trials. They're great amongst their college competitors but mediocre against the professionals.
Matt Boling has no Chance at making the USA team in the 200 meter. A slim chance at the 400 meter.... The USA is stacked in the 200 meter. Even with Noah Lyles not running (automatic qualifier as the Defending World Champion)
I have been saying for years that the 400 is going to be his best event. He needs to drop the 200 and focus on the 400. I'm not sure why he is even running the 200. He has 0 chance in that event.
@@lilcourtny08 Lol...I assume you follow track and field. If so, I see your snarkiness. If not, he came up short. The kid needs better guidance and coaching in order to keep up with the pros.
@@lilcourtny08I can say a lot of shoulda, coulda, wouldas, and I am sure you will have sensible rebuttals. Bolling was a high school sensation who may have been closer to his ceiling than previously expected. It is left to him to show us there is more to be seen before age catches up with him.
@@lilcourtny08 I know that Boling has gotten more oxygen than better performing athletes. Notwithstanding, the media made a bet on him that could have reaped huge dividends for the sport if it panned out. It would have been similar to what the Williams Sisters did for Tennis. Everyone loves a story of someone dominating a field that has few people from their ethnic group. The Jeremy Lin sensation moment in the NBA is another good example. Boling just hasn't been able to perform at the level needed to keep the fairytale alive.
As a big fan of boling, im pretty sure his best days are behind him and he's probably going to get wrekt by everyone else for the rest of his career. Wouldn't be surprised if he never podiums again.
Lyles is already qualified as the reigning world champion so it's 3 spots. Knighton, Kerley, Bednarek probably but there is also Laird and the College kids.
Imagine willingly not trying your best in your final season of college to save yourself for potentially the most competitive national trial field in the world. That would be some next level stupidity.
@@DPMixing I believe Boling tries his best all the time. In the Outdoor 200m every athlete in his preliminary heat set a PB except Boling and he still finished only .001 out of being in the finals.
I think mathew has refused the juice, thus he has hit the wall. I think athletes time when to juice to maximize training. Then try to maintain naturally.
@@hurdlegod4933 I think he reached his physical prime earlier than most, which is because of genetics. Many people are better at an older age but in his case it seems it was the reverse.
@@SHARKVADERS he isn't better than anyone that finished 1st, 2nd , or 3rd at the US nationals in the 200m or 400m. He dropped out the 200m because he knew he didn't have any chance of doing anything. Remind what did the great hope do again at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships.
@@lilcourtny08 Dropping out of the 200m this year was a good move. He hasn't been that great this year. Many others scratched in their events, too. It happens a lot.
Well, in his first serious meet with the 400m he placed 6th against the best in the country and made the US Championship team in the relay. So I guess all the chuckleheads declaring his career over or claiming he should train for the decathlon can go pound sand.
"In eight seasons leading our program, Caryl (Smith Gilgert) established USC track and field as a national force," said USC athletic director Mike Bohn said."
Maybe he'll make it in the 400m? In the 200m ? He'll have to be wearing rocket powered shoes or break his personal best by .5 . I think a sub 19.7 to make this team.
Bolling is an indoor runner/punching bag. By the time outdoor comes, he's blown everything on a long schedule of indoor meets. He drops a couple of notches each year as he goes from indoor to outdoor. Is it a limitation of ability or a fatigue problem? That may be revealed when he's done with college, BUT his outdoor resume so far indicates that he is unlikely to be a force in outdoor track beyond the NCAA level. Nice, disciplined kid, but likely not the future of American T&F.
@tosina.5023 Because of interest in his career. He did become famous before college running outstandingly at the high school level and he did win four gold medals at the Pan Am games before college which is something no one has done before or since. He's done better than the majority of his opponents who are also inconsistent but don't get the negative attention he does since they do not stick out like a sore thumb when they line up on the track the way he does.
@@vernonfrance2974 LMFAO you typed this out as if there aren't much more talented athletes in America with even more stacked track records. You sound so desperate but alas, Boling has peaked. He made no World's teams this year and should probably hang up his sprinting hat.
@@tosina.5023 There's not a "need" for frequent videos about Boling but obviously there is an interest since videos about Boling have more viewers than most other track athletes get and definitely more than other male NCAA athletes get. Also, many of the videos that feature Boling also discuss the careers and successes of many other athletes in the same video.
If he had run the 200m he might not have made the finals (depending on the draw), but he also could have matched 2022's 6th place finish with the times he was running in the outdoor season. Funny how when the drug testing cranks up you see so many of the "great" college sprinters fall off a cliff.
If Boling can break 45, will be a massive PR, but he’s not medaling. Tip your cap to Boling for an accomplished HS and NCAA career, he’s been an outstanding sprinter. At the professional level, I don’t think he can compete with the sub 44 crowd. Not sure about the long jump, maybe he can make some noise as a jumper.
He ran 4 400m races this year and made the final and finished 6th for the United States!!!! I’m id say that’s pretty darken good for his first time out!
Boling has absolutely no shot of making the 200m team. Even with Lyles not running, who is he going to beat to make the team ? Knighton ? Kerley, Bednarek ? Norman looked terrible and only ran a 10.3 in the 100m at the trials, but I’d still not bet on Boling beating Norman in the 200.
hes best bet could be lond jump as he had 8.25 m last winter which was very strong jump even for the summer compettiotions ok and by the way on 400m he had like 45 s and some change so thats not even remotely good time so another possibility si decathlon ok he seems so good in many disciplines really an overall great athlete so
A vulgar comment with no evidence, logic or reasoning to back it up. You do realize Boling has beaten all of the NCAA opponents he's faced at one time or another don't you? You also realize most NCAA athletes do not make it to the top of the podium at the National Level, let alone at the World Level don't you?
@@vernonfrance2974 he keeps making videos about boling for nothing. He is just making a five minute video to anticipate a great performance from Boling that probably won't come this season. Boling is not having a good season, and we should just leave it at that instead of getting hyped up from something that won't come. I'm not saying he's a bad athlete or that he is not possible of greatness. He has proven that multiple times, especially in the indoor NCAA 200 final. But the truth is I don't think the coaching at Georgia works for him.
Warholm also ran 46.75. Sending all his competitors to the Ghost Zone. He won be 6 bloody seconds.
Until he learns to relax I don't see his times improving very much. He really tightens up when the race is on the line which means he's running slower than the other runs who seems to stay more relax

So.. what exactly is he "finally doing"? Finally not making the team?
Boling does not have to run another step to be a legend at the NCAA level. He peaked earlier in his career. So what? He's beaten nearly all of those who have competed against him in the NCAA's at one time or another.
It's possible he may have a nagging injury that we don't know about but I believe he has already reached his prime which is NOT a crime.
@@vernonfrance2974 Never said it was or that he's lacking in any way. I'm merely confused as to why this video is titled "He's finally doing it." What exactly did he do to prompt a video is what I'm wondering.
He might be worn down, 40 races are a lot, he should be running fewer races like 20
If he runs a 44.88, it will be a win for him
TAKE TWO YEARS OFF AND TRAIN FOR THE DECATHLON YOU VAN DO IT!!!
wheres Noah Lyes this season?
Does anybody know if the previous World Champion gets an auto qualifier for the world championships?
Yes they do and the country they represent gets to bring an extra runner for that event
I still think his best event was the LJ. Anyone with his speed and with far from optimal training (he was focused on the 100m/200m) jumped 27'+ has a real shot at Olympic medals. I mean that jump right there would have gotten him bronze at the previous Olympics. None of his sprint PRs would have gotten him into the finals in the last Olympics. I think they are focusing on the wrong thing.
Y'all keep hugging that ONE jump... lol. Question is, has he CONSISTENTLY been able to make the jump, year after year? No. Matt's a good LJer but not a great one. He knows it. Hence, he does it once ina while and not outdoors, all last year.. Nor has he even done it much in past few years. Also, you guys gassed him up to think he was the great white lightning at 100/200. That's where all the money is at. Not the LJ, unfortunately. Dude should've stayed there and the 400... Bought his own hype
@@ThaSpeedsterZ The jump was 'indoor' meaning no wind or outside forces. The reason he never focused on training the LJ is because of the higher risk of injury and the 100/200 is the more alluring event. Landing wrong in the long jump or sticking the plant foot out at takeoff could be a season ending injury. Considering he has only jumped minimal times and trained minimal times because of that, it might be time to focus on what he always was best at - that being the LJ. You all always say 'great white hype' , how about respecting one of the best long jumpers in the world and not even focusing on it rather than bring race into the equation. However, when your argument hinges on paper thin substance and abnormal subjectiveness I guess the only way to add any weight to what you say is to try and bring race into it.
Unfortunately, although I root for Matt, he's been running slower than he has ever run since probably junior year in high school. Don't know why he's regressed so much, but he needs to improve dramatically to make it past the first round in either the 400 or 200. Hopefully I'm wrong.
He has won 2 National NCAA Championships since high school.
@@ronald8792 Yes, agreed, but this spring his times in the 100 and 200 have been the slowest of his college career. That is all I'm saying, his form and times have not been good lately.
@@mstrbillable I think timing is almost arbitrary because so many things can effect it. You have different track surfaces (poured polyurethane, rolled rubber) surface thickness, weather, altitude and of course clock manipulation.
Boling is much faster and more consistent than he was in high school unless you take that 9.98 wind time seriously.
@@ronald8792 indoors. what has he done outdoors? if he couldn't beat college athletes what more grown men
HOWEVER
He needs to move on from college and get with a team of coaches that can get him right... mainly his head... needs to shake the pressure and expectations of others.
@sophry7556 His forte is business and he doesn't need to be a world beater since his name recognition from his outstanding successes over a very long career are fine - especially since he represents the outdoors equipment companies and not track and field.
I think he should NEVER go pro but could compete in his final year of eligibility next year at Georgia.
@@vernonfrance2974 I wouldn't complain if he left for greener pastures. But, I think he still has something left to give, in some capacity.... he has the rest of his adult life to be a prominent businessman, but you can only compete for so long in T&F.
@@sophry7556 I believe your comment is very fair and reasonable. I am just afraid if he tries to compete against the top athletes beyond the NCAA level he will not have great results. He only beat Laird and Fahnbulleh once or twice each and they have not had much success against the best.
I don't expect him to be on the podium in Eugene this weekend so continuing on beyond his last year of eligibility in the NCAA's next year, unless he has a great break through in 2024, does not seem to be a propitious use of his achievements, time and intellect.
I hope he surprises me but I think that anything other than marked success will give his detractors the pleasure of putting him down while they continue to ignore how outstanding he has been at the high school and collegiate levels.
@@vernonfrance2974 Thank you Vernon, but if he lives and competes for what others think, then he's already in a bad place mentally... that's why I said he's needs a team that can also work on his mind, along with his training. Fans and haters come and go. It's all up to him and his personal goals. How he overcomes adversity, just like so many great athletes who have come before him. But, you're right, the field isn't getting any slower; so he'll need to "move quickly" on his decision and choose the right path and events. Also, whether or not he gets sponsored (and by whom), will say a lot about his future, I think.
@@vernonfrance2974your take is a perfect example of white fragility. Yikes 💀
Gee this dude is really hot stuff with the predictions and the lisp..
Boling's best shot at going pro is to switch to the 400.
No decathlon

Boling should not go pro. He's already made a name for himself and will do great in business in which he is already thriving.
@@vernonfrance2974 wtf are you talking about? He's in college.
Looking at his body type...it would take a few years of training but I think he could set decathlon records he has jumped and pole vaulted in high school.
Boling has scheduled his training this year to peak at trials. I would not count him out in the 200m. USA gets to send 4. I, for one, think he is going to shock you all and make the 200m team.

If Matt Boling makes the 400 meter final he will have to run the 200m rd1, 2hrs earlier the same day on (Saturday)...Not good 🙈
It can be done. US HS & College runners routinely run the 200M and then the 4 x 400 relay with less rest.
NBA championship Nikola.
These college athletes are over raced and that's why they don't do well at the US trials. They're great amongst their college competitors but mediocre against the professionals.
Matt Boling has no Chance at making the USA team in the 200 meter.
A slim chance at the 400 meter....
The USA is stacked in the 200 meter. Even with Noah Lyles not running (automatic qualifier as the Defending World Champion)
I have been saying for years that the 400 is going to be his best event. He needs to drop the 200 and focus on the 400. I'm not sure why he is even running the 200. He has 0 chance in that event.

He could definitely be a WR threat in the 400. He actually looks the most relaxed and powerful in the 400.

Boling has just been told he can't do something. It would be lovely to watch him prove the naysayers wrong.
So what happened
@@lilcourtny08 Lol...I assume you follow track and field. If so, I see your snarkiness. If not, he came up short. The kid needs better guidance and coaching in order to keep up with the pros.
@@tosayeMore excuses as usual for Boling. He is 23 not a kid. Erriyon Knighton had no problem making the Olympics at 17.
@@lilcourtny08I can say a lot of shoulda, coulda, wouldas, and I am sure you will have sensible rebuttals. Bolling was a high school sensation who may have been closer to his ceiling than previously expected. It is left to him to show us there is more to be seen before age catches up with him.
@@lilcourtny08 I know that Boling has gotten more oxygen than better performing athletes. Notwithstanding, the media made a bet on him that could have reaped huge dividends for the sport if it panned out. It would have been similar to what the Williams Sisters did for Tennis. Everyone loves a story of someone dominating a field that has few people from their ethnic group. The Jeremy Lin sensation moment in the NBA is another good example. Boling just hasn't been able to perform at the level needed to keep the fairytale alive.
As a big fan of boling, im pretty sure his best days are behind him and he's probably going to get wrekt by everyone else for the rest of his career. Wouldn't be surprised if he never podiums again.
Finally
USA 200 this year is crazy.........never better...Lyles and 2 others. Who?
Lyles is already qualified as the reigning world champion so it's 3 spots. Knighton, Kerley, Bednarek probably but there is also Laird and the College kids.

Imagine willingly not trying your best in your final season of college to save yourself for potentially the most competitive national trial field in the world. That would be some next level stupidity.
@@DPMixing I believe Boling tries his best all the time. In the Outdoor 200m every athlete in his preliminary heat set a PB except Boling and he still finished only .001 out of being in the finals.
@@DPMixingit’s not his final season. He has 1 year left if eligibility.

@@Ookashay Ahhh....ok
Well, in his first serious meet with the 400m he placed 6th against the best in the country and made the US Championship team in the relay. So I guess all the chuckleheads declaring his career over or claiming he should train for the decathlon can go pound sand.
Naw, they’re right. He’s 💩! Haha 😆
Matt has to dump his female coach, name one successful female coach in history that has produced a successful male athlete.
"In eight seasons leading our program, Caryl (Smith Gilgert) established USC track and field as a national force," said USC athletic director Mike Bohn said."
İ think that if i were able to go back in time that I could possibly score 62.5 seconds in the 400 m.
Maybe he'll make it in the 400m? In the 200m ? He'll have to be wearing rocket powered shoes or break his personal best by .5 . I think a sub 19.7 to make this team.
Bolling is an indoor runner/punching bag. By the time outdoor comes, he's blown everything on a long schedule of indoor meets. He drops a couple of notches each year as he goes from indoor to outdoor. Is it a limitation of ability or a fatigue problem? That may be revealed when he's done with college, BUT his outdoor resume so far indicates that he is unlikely to be a force in outdoor track beyond the NCAA level. Nice, disciplined kid, but likely not the future of American T&F.
Can someone explain why this kid gets so many videos on this channel?
@tosina.5023 Because of interest in his career. He did become famous before college running outstandingly at the high school level and he did win four gold medals at the Pan Am games before college which is something no one has done before or since. He's done better than the majority of his opponents who are also inconsistent but don't get the negative attention he does since they do not stick out like a sore thumb when they line up on the track the way he does.
@vernonfrance2974 so there's a need for weekly videos on his unremarkable college career? Oh okay....
He's the great white hope. No other reason.
@@vernonfrance2974 LMFAO you typed this out as if there aren't much more talented athletes in America with even more stacked track records. You sound so desperate but alas, Boling has peaked. He made no World's teams this year and should probably hang up his sprinting hat.
@@tosina.5023 There's not a "need" for frequent videos about Boling but obviously there is an interest since videos about Boling have more viewers than most other track athletes get and definitely more than other male NCAA athletes get. Also, many of the videos that feature Boling also discuss the careers and successes of many other athletes in the same video.

If he had run the 200m he might not have made the finals (depending on the draw), but he also could have matched 2022's 6th place finish with the times he was running in the outdoor season. Funny how when the drug testing cranks up you see so many of the "great" college sprinters fall off a cliff.
I think Boling has the potential to become this generation's Jeremy Wairner. Whether he can maximize his potential or not is the question.
No. He got too big at Georgia. He needs to do the Decathlon like yesterday. He’ll break the World Record.
I am not counting on Matt anymore.
Writers, comic book artists, game show hosts, funeral directors,
If Boling can break 45, will be a massive PR, but he’s not medaling. Tip your cap to Boling for an accomplished HS and NCAA career, he’s been an outstanding sprinter. At the professional level, I don’t think he can compete with the sub 44 crowd. Not sure about the long jump, maybe he can make some noise as a jumper.
He ran 4 400m races this year and made the final and finished 6th for the United States!!!! I’m id say that’s pretty darken good for his first time out!
"Boling's chances in the 400m are pretty decent I suppose" is a huge overstatement. He's a giant long shot to even make it out of the heats.
