And all his fan club…
We have merged two threads on his performance in SECs into 1.

Oh well, at least he can say he has done some great times and distances should he never improve again.
Bit odd he did well not long ago in indoor season, but less so now. I would have thought outdoor season much more important.

Yeah he got destroyed, 5th in his 100m heat, and doesn’t qualify. 10.36 (1.2)
And he shouldn’t.
People trash me a lot on here for criticizing his form, for saying he has wasted time, for saying there is no evidence of coaching in his sprinting.
The proof is in the pudding.
ok maybe he’s injured—but even if so, I maintain all of my criticisms.
Again, the sooner he switches to LJ, the better.
With a time like that, he must be carrying some injury. If so, it’s hardly surprising, given his form.

Meh, I get the feeling he'd take a desk job over that.

WTF! LJ is great, it’s an honest event.
It’s not like it’s Fortnite or something

I just watched the 100m prelims and after seeing boling in the first heat, I have some real concerns on how he is going to rebound for ncaas east prelims and ultimately the ncaa championships. He just didn’t seem like the turnover was there throughout the race.
I am sure he will make the championships in the 200m regardless but making the 100m will be so difficult now after seeing that. To make the situation worse he had a strong assisting tailwind as well.
Hoping the best for Boling, lets see how he does in the 200m tomorrow !!!

Will his coach will pull him from the other events for not putting in an honest effort?

The consensus of those here is Matt B is not an elite 100m man. He is a long jumper or 200m man. I don't get the fuss about Matt B and not sprinting well in a 100m dash.

He won’t do any impact on the 200m either just double the 100 times 2 and you get your 200 time. He could be in great shape and just taking his training light for a few weeks and off the juice , just because you see a runner dip from 9.9 to 10.3 , it doesn’t mean they’re injured like I said. No need to continuously dump chemicals in your body for months on end especially without having a salary. Furthermore he may have been glowing and a choice was made to just let it go and start again 4 or so weeks before the trials.

These comments are soooooo delusional. What are the chances a 22 year old man has lost his speed and will never return to running what he ran a little over a year ago ? People he recently ran 20.1 indoors. He’s still got it. You have to look at it from all perspectives and it’s obvious he’s off the juice and his times have slowed. He’s probably saving all of his energy , health , and mental health for the USA trials. Being on steroid cycles is extremely difficult and unnatural on the body. Breaks here and there are okay. The trials are in July not June.

Georgia is going for the national team title. Matt will win the 200m NCAA title and UGA the team title. Stop bashing at the kid, he keeps proving you wrong. Wait till June.

I have been singing this song about Boling since day one, here is a 200m sprinter like most white sprinters the 200 will be their better event,
LeMaitre ended up in what event, Kenteris. Guliyev.

Why no DQ for the dude from LSU?
“The lanes are numbered 1 through 8, starting with the inside lane. Any athlete who runs outside the assigned lane is subject to disqualification.”

So Geezer, tell us if he was in his lane on this step, ‘Yes’ or ‘No’?:

And then Geezer, tell us whether he was in his own lane on the following step [which would have been (approximately) his 10th step out of the blocks]:

Why would a kid running the fastest 100m time in high school history not be considered an elite 100m man??

So when Alan Webb ran the fastest mile time of any high school boy in history was the consensus here that he was not an elite mile man?
