He actually doesn't have great form he runs super tight and not relaxed once he can learn to run more relaxed he will be a lot faster more often in 19s in the 200m
I think the announcer said his first 200 was like a 21 high? So slightly slower second 200, but you're right, pretty dead on and not a big fade at all. The crazy thing is he made up all that distance in like 350 meters... had the other guy wrapped up well before the finish line.
@@Thomas-fk3cw i think the point being made is that boling doesnt try to make up the difference in the first 100..he takes his time and runs his race. you can see that his tactic is always cruise for 250m and then give it everything he has over the last 150..you can literally see his form change at about the 150m mark to go in every race he does
Well im 41. So if my calculations are correct that means i would of probably ran a 9.3 in that race. Unless the other kids were junior high...then im looking at a 8.9sh range. I cant even imagine what would happen if my dad was in that race. 72 year old = 5 flat?
can you imagine being like him all thru HS? going to school, living with great supportive parents, running track and being great at it. winning accolades, Trophy's and Records.....
Let that camera run, the 30 seconds after the race is as good as the race itself. The race, plus the crazy reactions, and the crowd going wild both during the race and after the fact is the reason God put us here...
Unlike most of the best 100 meter runners, Mathew Boling has stamina. A high % of the best 100 meter runners wouldn't have any strength to apply their speed in the last 100 of a 400 meter race.

Boling is a member of the Georgia Bulldogs 4x4 team and they just set a NEW SCHOOL RECORD in 2:58.82 and Boling ran a blazing split of 43.70 on the second leg.
He has Michael Johnson potential. 200 & 400 for sure. 100 - 200 remains to be seen on world record. As smooth as he is might be able to stretch to 800.
@paul hicks Oh really? Because as a 19 year old, Johnson ran a 46.29 seasons best in the 400m at Lafayette, LA on 11 APR 1987 and 20.41 in the 200m at Waco, TX on 17 APR 1987. On the other hand, Boling as a 19 year old ran 46.51 at Bloomington, IN on 16 JUN 2018 (he was technically still 18 and his 19th birthday was 2 days away) and 20.31 at San José (CRC) on 20 JUL 2019. Oh, what's that? Did you see that? Boling was a .1 faster than Johnson in the 200m? Say it ain't so?! Oh, and what's that? Johnson attended Baylor university for four years and ran track there? But Paul Hicks from the internet said he was running against top world athletes at age 19. So where was he during the 1988 Olympics when he was 20? He didn't make it? Hmm, so much for Paul Hicks' revisionist timeline. As to your question about how Boling was 19 and still in high school sports, the answer is he wasn't. He was 18. His birthday is in the summer, so he could either be one of the oldest in his class or one of the youngest, depending on when he started school. His parents chose for him to be one of the oldest. That choice happens for all kids that are born during the summer. Interestingly, Johnson and Boling only have a 3 month month relative difference, with Johnson's birthday being in September rather than June. In the future, you might want to check your numbers before you go running your mouth on the internet :) Fun aside, both Johnson and Boling are fantastic runners. Boling does have the potential to break any world record from 100-400, if he puts in the work like Johnson did. Johnson's junior year of college was a breakout year for him, where he broke the 200m U.S. indoor record and won the national title.
@paul hicks What are tomorrow's lottery numbers? Take back your false statement that "at 19 johnson was running against top world athletes". He wasn't. Stop making stuff up and join us in reality.
@paul hicks Really? Well, this is news to me. So if someone runs a 43 second 400 meter and another guy runs it in 44 second, who wins? The one with the lower time or the one with the better speed, pace, and class? When Usain Bolt broke the world record time, was he in jail? Remember, "time only counts when your in jail".
@paul hicks You don't have to figure out pace and speed. The time represents the total output. No, I wouldn't compare Matt Boling to Jesse Owens, since they ran on different track surfaces, had different spikes, and hand-time / automatic. You mentioned, "How can you figure Matt boiling against m Johnson when they never competed, it's stupid!"- you should ask yourself that, since you compared them in your initial reply in this conversation and then after as well. So why do you compare them?
Good tactic and planning to have Boling get the stick right at the beginning of the exchange zone. He is the fastest on the team, so they wanted him to run further.
Boling will be running this weekend at Arkansas and he is the anchor leg for the Georgia Bulldogs 4x4 and he will meet a young man named RANDOLPH ROSS from North Carolina A&T and their 4x4 squad.Ross is a frosh as well.
I enjoyed every race at 2019 State Meet, all the athletes did an awesome job. You can't single anyone out as the best runner, because State isn't easy to get too. I hate it wasn't a State Meet 2020 Klein Forest was heading for a second Championship.
I mean what’s going thru that fourth legs head for the other team 💀 just put his team in da pot. Look how he shaking that head that’s how u know the dawgs coming when ya straining 😂
"He's 19 running against 16 and 17 year olds." He run's a sub 10 and sub 45, I don't care if he is running against 2 year olds. In fact, running against younger less talented competition probably hurts his times.
Dumb asses!! Anyone watched college or diamond league? Matt is .2 tenths at most off'em... And most of those kids in 4×4 TX relay are upper classman. 17, 18, sum even 19! Following UIL rules of course...
You can see the other anchor lost his form the last 50 meters or so. Shoulders and head flying all over the place. Not saying he would have held Boling off, but maybe. Terrific race either way.
The guy is fast, anyone that can run down a 48 second 400 runner has my vote. Dont care what color he is, could be a purple martian , still got my vote!!!
