    Matthew Boling 9.98, 19.92, 44.84 and 8.25 LJ

    He does want a future in track, and he did make reference to having a lot more energy not having to run the 400.

    90 percent of people would look at that picture and think it was a tennis, or lacrosse player or something. :)

    Great interview. I liked what he said about just recently starting to run the 100 and improving in the weight room. I think he is a bigger find than Lemaitre because it seems like he is taking the right course of action. Just think, a few months back and we hadn't even heard of this guy. And we...

    60 Years Ago

    It took another 24 years after that for a white man to win a heavyweight title, Gerrie Coetzee in 1983. Jerry Quarry and Joe Bugner were somewhat competitive, but it was a long dry spell of black power, a really bad time to grow up.

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80! -- Part Two

    I wonder how old RCSman spends his time these days now that he no longer policing this site. He probably takes his poodle for long walks, or works on his Renault while he is thinking about what could have been.

    You know, I have to say in those 100 vids he did look Lemaitresque in his top speed. He came from behind both times. I hope more plyo and weights are in his future. With a great start he can easily break 10.10 before the summer is out.

    I think his nickname should be the white god and he should appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated dressed like Apollo, but his dad probably wouldn't appreciate that.

    No, he should be in the U20 championships that started yesterday. Matthew Boling, the Texan who ran the fastest all-conditions 100m in high school history, plans to compete in next month’s USATF U20 Outdoor Championships and, should he make the national team, the Pan American U20 Championships...

    Yeah, I saw it. I just read the article in the dentist office waiting room yesterday. I probably should have swiped it :) Is he running the U18 championships? I'm going to go on Track and Field News and see if they have an entries list.

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80! -- Part Two

    Lemaitre is a tall sprinter and lacked explosive power (double whammy). He always seemed to be playing catch up in the 100 as he'd get blown out at the start. Yes, Quinn is just starting out, but that his pb in the 60 is slower than Lemaitre's is intriguing in terms of thinking of Quinn's...

    Pulev is the IBF mandatory for fall. Yes, he is a lot tougher than Schulz, but still essentially another tomato can. I hope the fans stop buying this stuff. https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/ibf-mandatory-challenger-kubrat-pulev-in-the-frame-for-furys-next-fight/120687

    Bobby Jones, defensive master..old school 76ers. Dunked on brothers regularly

    Bobby Jones was awesome. I saw him play live as a Denver Nugget and a 76er. He would be on my all time all white all star team along with Bill Walton and Pistol Pete Maravich.

    This guy is really an interesting story. When I was a kid, I saw a meet on TV, I don't remember the details, but it had a black power vibe. It was the Martin Luther King Games, or Martin Luther King stadium or something. When they ran the 100 meters, it was the typical all black field you would...
