2019 Tx State Track Meet 4x400 Houston Strake Jesuit Matt Boling, all team less than 50 sec splits 

Didn't know he was a sophomore. Bolings 200 split was a 21 something.

@@cruzthird Yes he is ... I went to HS with his Dad and Uncle ... both prolific in their own right. Very cerebral kid, and lots of top end speed, though he only ran on the relays this year. My guess is he transitions to the open 200/400 and relays next year.

Can you explain to people outside the USA what a sophomore is.

@@georgesutton9556 IThe term "Sophomore" refers to your second year in High School, of which here in the United States, there are four such years you must complete satisfactorily, to graduate. Your Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior year (years 1, 2, 3, and 4). High School is the level of secondary education that precedes College or University studies.

bwilli34 Thanks for the explanation, 👍I've been watching all of Matt's videos, hope to see him at the Olympics, cheers from Australia.

He could be a great decathlete with some of the performances he has done already.

First one with a an exceptional comment.💪🤛👌

Was going to post the same thing.

cruzthird 45.5 pedestrian?

@@inwoodboy1937 HeHe, it was more of a tongue-in-cheek saying than anything else compared to his actual 44.743.

Great alternate video

Thx

U of H too. His hometown. They have Carl Lewis as assistant coach and head coach Leroy Burrell.

lol.

No, do the math. He ran below 50 sec. No way they get that time with him running a 1 min split. Why would you make that comment? I can understand if you accidentally typed in a 5 instead of a 4. That's the only thing that makes sense in your comment. And if that's the case, I know I'm not accurate on the 10th & 100th's of a second.

@@cruzthird I'm kidding. I was being a d!ck. I'm sure he ran close to 50 which is really slow compared to all these kids running 47 and Boling running 44, but is a very decent high school time.

@@thomasmckenzie4584 lol

either way, he wouldnt be the 1st.....i say fair is fair when you can back it up! LOL Boling is something special, i say let him enjoy the limelight!

@@cbnboy34 I'm just curious if there was trash talking between the teams before hand.

I was just trying to figure out the same thing! IMO, he's looking at the runner! The clock was immediately to his left. He didn't have to look back to see the clock. He stared him down, too. If you go to the end, the anchor leg refused to shake his hand...

I heard he looked back to see how the teams placed in order for them to win it all. He was thinking about his team placement in the overall meet.

I ran track in jr high, high school and college. It's seldom like other sports where rivals gloat. My guess is Boling instinctually was looking back to see where the rest of the pack was.

He wanted to leave Texas and Georgia has produced great decathlon athletes and Olympians.

He committed to Georgia as a junior and 400m runner. He only started running sprints his senior year.

I been trying to figure out this as well how the heck he get to Georgia 🤦🏽‍♂️

Thank you. I never know when my dyslexia will kick in.
