Your Boy Matty B (Boling) Busted A 6.60 Over The Weekend

is that good? need some comps, lol

PR for him.

Nice start to the season for him.

He's ranked 5th in the world so far. Not saying he will break 6.4, but that will help him with his 100 and 200 outdoors.

Too many have ran sub 6.60, when he gets down around 6.55, ok now we have something.

Yes. When he gets to 6.55, he might have a shot at getting near 10-flat in good conditions. Might. Even Lemaitre, with his unbelievable second half, needed 6.57 (or 6.55?) indoors to get near 10-flat basic.

BUT this is a very good sign. Maybe the new coaching is paying off, which would be great, if true.

Keep in mind it is only January, we will see something faster and soon. As far as sub 10.00 goes, it would be cool to see a white American run a sub10.00, as we know Teeters/Quinn at 10.00. I can see 9.9 stuff for Boling, but that sub 9,9....????? In order to be a major player at 100m on the world stage he will have to run a sub 9.90.

How should Boling plan his doping cycles for the future?

Does he start doping now and taper off before Paris?

Does he maintain his natural state and start doping post college (for an LA peak?)

Interested in the normal way of doing things for someone with his talent (with the assumption that sub 9.9 is doping only terrority for EVERYONE).

We're not haters, in fact I took note of this probably before you did...and subsequently ignored it. Even though it's a PB, it's not that impressive when you have collegiate athletes you probably didn't hear of this year running sub 6.60 (and some sub 6.55)

He is far from being ranked 5th in the world so far.

Get near 10 flat? Didn't he get near 9.90?

Ok. Top 10 after a few guys ran over the weekend, but still nothing to sneeze about.

Deleting Spanish is racist. Also, I thought it was let run policy, for the goal of clean sport, to allow speculation about you know what. Don't be racist, next post will be in Swahili...Help me out, el Keniano!

i know there are a number of formulas that predict what a 60 will show for 100m.

there is the 60mx 2 the minus 3 seconds, or one that i found was a good number was just add 3.60 to the 60m time

so the x2-3 seconds gives him 6.60x2=13.2..- 3 seconds = 10.2

or add 3.60 = 10.2

you shouldnt use someones 60m in route to outdoor PR as this is at the end of the season, but you use CURRENT 60m time of indoor to predict what they might be able to do a 100m at current fitness.

terrence jones is the leader right now at 6.45 so lets try that out

9.9 with the 2x-3 seconds, and 10.05 with adding 3.60 seconds

rikkoi brathwaite has a 6.54 currently

10.08 with the 2x-3 seconds, and 10.14 with adding 3.60

his 100m pr from last year was 10.10w (3.2).

so maybe best is get the two projected times and then average them

boiling then = still 10.2

terrence = 9.975

rikkoi = 10.11

lets look at jocobs 6.47 then a 9.80 at the olympics

2x-3 seconds gave him a 9.94 and 10.07, average 10.005 so he was able to drop .20 by the end of the season

this gives

boiling = 10.00

terrence = 9.77

rikkoi = 9.91

of course this doenst consider speed maintenance as some guys rip a good 60 but flail with form and deceleration and run 10.00-10.10 with fast 60s. but it will be interesting to keep an eye on this terrence guy once outdoor starts

6.60 is not outstanding, whereas he is ranked one or two in the NCAA at 200 and long jump. Hopefully this coaching staff will get him where he needs to be. Speaking of the 200, did you see a 6'5" 225 lb 5 star defensive end run something like 20.8 last weekend? Now, that is a great athlete.

No love for indoors at all. None of it matters or is remotely interesting. The few events that compare to outdoors get there by mechanical cheating.

Between high school and college Boling has run the 100 in wind legal times of 10.11, 10.13 and 10.15 twice each, plus the wind aided 9.97 and 9.98 times he has run. He also ran 20.06 for the 200 at SECs last year also wind legal. His previous PR in the 60 was 6.64 so there’s reason to think he’s already faster than he was before, especially considering his big PR in the long jump last week. It certainly seems like Boling should be capable of 10.0 and 20.0 in the 100 and 200 this year just given his past marks.

Caryl Smith Gilbert coached Andre De Grasse to NCAA titles in the 100/200 before he went pro, she’s a master at making people fast and peaking them at the right time. De Grasse broke 10 seconds with legal winds in the 100 that year 6 times and ran a wind aided 9.75 at NCAAs and his PR in the 60 earlier that same year was ironically 6.60. Boling is in good hands now and it doesn’t seem unrealistic at all to expect him to shave .1 seconds off his best wind legal 100 time of 10.11 which puts him right around 10 flat, but I think he has a real good shot at sub 10 and sub 20 this year given the quality of his new coach. Georgia must have paid a fortune to pull her away from USC.
