So I checked and here it is from WorldAthletics.org Despite this horrible season Boling is still tied for the 3rd fastest american sprinter college or professional as of today over 100 meters. Here is the list.

Then in the whole world he is still the 10th fastest. So if he isn't special then I guess the majority of sprinters around the world should just give up track forever. I know what I see and the kid is a legitimate superstar and he will run faster
than Lemaitre, Guliyev and countless others over the next 5 or 6 years. You can hold me to that as I will be here as long as I'm still breathing. Boling will go faster then Lemaitre's 9.92 and his 19.80! Boling will work and train as hard as it
takes. I love Christophe Lemaitre but he never had the desire to be the best that Boling does!
When Matthew learns to relax all the time at top speed you will see the talent explode. Look at this pic in the 200 meters from the 2022 National Championships 200 Meters Mens Final. He ran 20.13 with dead legs and tight as can be. Scary to
think just how good he can be when he puts all the aspects of the race together. It's called modeling phases and knowing what to do when. Mostly relax and let the speed flow through you. The sprinters that win are (NOT) running faster at the end of a
100 meters or 200 meters race. They are actually just deaccelerating at a slower rate due to relaxation of the whole body. That and your arm swing carry you when the legs are tired & built up with lactic acid!
