Hall of Famer
He is very impressive. He is always seemingly getting better and better! I hope he's an inspiration to many young Whites, especially athletes.
I get while he is at Georgia it's all about scoring points for the school. So he will run both relays the 100 the 200 and maybe some long jumping. But is this really a 400m man in waiting?
Most white sprinters have been more successful at 200 and 400 than 100 and 200. History has proven this.
You can't compare Boling to other sprinters in the past. He ran a wind legal 10.11 in h.s. and a windy 9.98 which is the fastest time for any high school sprinter
ever regardless of wind. To say he should run the 400 doesn't make any sense. Boling also won the 200 meters NCAA Indoor Championship last year. He is made
for the 100 and 200 meters. The kid is a good 400 meter sprinter and also a good long jumper but the shorter sprints are where he will become the biggest star!
Here is the 10.11 Boling ran with almost no wind at the Pan Am Games just out of high school.
As you are well aware of ya get out, accellerate to topend/max velocity then try to sustain/maintain as much of max as ya can for as long as ya can, but nobody can run a 100 all out so here comes that decelleration phase which depends on your speed endurance. Bolt spent less time decellerating because he took longer to hit that topend.
Anyway...
Being a 200/400 sprinter also, Bolings all important speed endurance not a problem. Yep, great young sprinter with a bright future ahead regardless of what he runs. Ah....drop the long jump.
all the best to Matthew this coming year. Indoors must start just after christmas?
This is the 2021 SEC Conference Championships 100 Meters Mens Finals. Like usual Boling had an awful start. It is the weakest part of his race. Yet in a world
class field by many standards he ran down everyone except for Laird. This is the top of top end speed that very few sprinters on earth have. This is before he was
over raced and fatigued by the time of the NCAA Track & Fields Champs and the Olympic Trials. He had nothing left by the point of the season. That will change
as his body adapts and he continues to gain strength and endurance. Bolings closing speed is phenomenal. He ran a windy 9.97 in this race with a horrible start. Just
imagine what he is capable of in the coming years. Bring on 2022 and let's see what the kid can do!
Boling finishes first 20.49. He probably pulled up a little. Looking at the other times it doesn’t appear that he was pushed at all!!!Boling wins his heat 20.49
Impressive long jump but there's much more recognition in the sprints. Miltiadis Tentoglou (Greek) is the current Olympic champion at long jump winning the gold medal with a jump of 8.41 metres. It's incredible that the long jump WR was set back in 1968! If Boling does decide to pursue long jump he's in the mix and it is possible to sprint and do long jump- Just look at Carl Lewis!
