Boling DQ in 200

I am not a great fan of this athlete, but his workload was damn ridiculous. He needs to draw a line in the sand with his college.

It's because he's exhausted. And if you look at his schedule, it makes perfect sense. He only ran a 46.4 leadoff leg as well.

On paper, I think you're could be right in a few years, but Wariner had a lot of intangibles going on. Plus, he won a gold medal.

Watch some Youtube videos of Jeremy Wariner. He was a very special runner when he was on (and sported the big shades). He won the gold medal and was absolutely silky smooth until the line.

I wouldn't yet compare Boling or even the current USA 400m guys with Wariner - apples to oranges. USA was 4th and 5th at the last Olympics and Boling is below those dudes.

Give me the name of any stud NCAA sprinter who fits that, come on dummy. who?

What are you smoking? he came into the meet with the best LJ mark and 200m time, and undeafeated at 60m lolol

He just needs to get out of Georgia, that form and ability to relax is never going to improve there, that is clear.

His coach should get these two questions from a good reporter (or Matt’s parents haha)

1. at what point do you consider this athlete overworked and over raced? he peaked mid season last year and looks to be doing the same this year.

2. how hard are you working on technique and relaxed form for him. his face and neck are so strained, it’s unbelievable.

Obviously I don’t think highly of his coach on many levels.

if u watch his trip in the 200 , he is straining so hard, his eyes are almost shut. Maybe he actually trio for lack of vision as well as tired legs.

I hope he survives his collegiate experience. I think he could be world class at one of the sprints.

I bet I calve raise more than Boling.. Let's see what he can lift in the gym..

Yes Boling was DQ'd for stepping on the inside line on the curve (not the first time he has been DQ for that). He is clearly one of the most talented male athletes in NCAA Track and Field. Coach Gilbert was trying to win the men's team title and if you have a stud that can score in 4 events you go for it. The problem is the dumb schedule. Why in the hell is the meet split by genders? WTH? Why? Out of all the track meets on the planet why does NCAA DI separate the genders. All it does it make it difficult for the best athletes to double or triple. By the time the 4x 400m relay was run about a dozen kids were running on fumes and the times were slow compared to a Championship meet and their seed times.

Boling is fine and will continue to do fine.

Boling had the potential to score good points in the 60m (4-6), lj (up to 10), 200m (up to 10), and 400 (4-7) or 4x400 (6 shared), so he could have accounted for 25 or more points, enough to give them a shot at the title had he been on. He had a poor meet for his ability. The coach has had great success in the past and said that it took her four years of form work to get Twanisha Terry to where she came to be. The straining was just the most obvious problem. Compare even to the sprinters around him and it was glaringly obvious. He's got to learn to run relaxed. And he was just not ready for that many events.

Had a pretty good Friday.

But a below par Saturday.

It happens.

I kind of doubt that he was handling the workload just fine on Friday but it became too much for him on Saturday. But maybe the 60m and 200m heats and the LJ on Friday did take a lot out of him for Saturday.

Was obviously talking about his post NCAA career, assumed that was obvious. Watch how quickly his long jumping stops after Georgia. This is a 200m cat as we will be seeing once he steps up to world class competition.

You got it.

What we are seeing now with Boling is just a college kid trying to do all he can for Georgia, don't get caught up in thinking this has much to do with where he will end up, it doesn't. We always seeing him trying to manage a workload which is the NCAA, once he can just concentrate on his one event things will be totally different.

Right now there he is doing all that work vs "Just" a 60 guy or "Just" a long jumper who is fresh.

Looks more like he tripped himself up because he knew he was on the line and was trying to make a mid-stride correction back into his own lane. It wasn't from exhaustion.

That school is certainly getting its pound of flesh and pint of blood from Boling.

He should become a decathlete.

He's a wonderful athlete but consistently appears to have problems controlling his effort. His legs also may have been tired that day from all the events he competed in that weekend. On to outdoors.
