Boling 6.68 in season opener at Clemson

Why is this thread not Taylor Banks 6.67,He is healthy and y’all need to wake tf up and stop sleeping under a rock

Taylor Banks even eased up and still ran 6.67,Could of easily ran 6.59

Banks Beat Boling twice in a day and nobody is talking about it lol

It's a slow 60 meter time. However a few things to keep in mind here. He long jumped 24 feet and 7 inches, which is way off his personal best of 26 feet and a couple inches (even with legal wind speed behind his back). This indicates he's still out of shape.

Next, we don't have the footage of the race or his reaction time. If his reaction time was 0.05 seconds slower than it normally is and/ or he had a bad first step, then he has a lot to improve.

Too many unanswered questions from just the time without the footage.

He could very well be a 6.5 runner at the end of the season. We don't know his reaction time and his long jump was 24'7 compared to pB of 26'3

Here is the footage

Taylor Banks was behind and ran him down, give him credit when it’s due and stop with the excuses

Belarussiya you are of course right that we don’t really have enough info.

My post assumed that he had a decent race because nobody had said otherwise.

Nobody is talking about Banks because there’s really no reason to. 6.67 is, like 6.68, a decent opener on which to build.

But it’s really only the 6.5’s where things start to heat up.

Outdoor and indoor LJ not the same.

Stop with the excusses

In the second video, Boling is way back 20 meters into the race. Freeze it at 16-17 seconds.

His closing rush is actually pretty remarkable. Hard to believe he got within .01 of the winner from where he was. I'm presuming that is the final from the title of the video.

The first video of the heat is harder to see because it is across the track but, again, freezing it halfway through shows Boling trailing.

He can work on his start,sure, but I don't think it is ever going to be a strong point for him.

I think he met his match.Banks is still faster.2 Ls in one day is a big statement & Banks top end speed is to much for Boling.He hasn’t seen anything like it before.

I witnessed it with my own eyes Boling had a good start and was nowhere near 20min behind.Watch out for Taylor Banks this year tho,& get your heads out your asses.When he is healthy,He is dangerous and he will run under sub 10 and go 6.5 as a true 19 year old freshman this year.

Second in the finals. Also was second in the LJ. I’m not super familiar with 60m times, so how good is that?

Discus.

Ok cool.

Wonder if he can do 6.52 or below.

Honored that the fastest overweight man under 6 feet commented. Could you beat him on a weight conversion?

Boling is almost laughable off the line. Of course he has been doing short sprints for less than two years, so still pretty raw. Those other guys will not even sniff his wake in a 200.

How is this kid so fast?

He is gifted and works hard (trains like a 400 guy much of the year).

Sprinters are born, then made.

His twin is not fast. Just the luck of tge draw I guess.

How do you know maybe he had zero interest.
