With that kind of speed, he should take up the 800. He can probably jog a 52 point first 400 and then circle back with a 54. With a little time, we could be seeing one of the best 800 runners ever!!

What. A. Stud.
Wow, those are mind-blueing performances. amazing.
He should focus on 400m or 400m hurdles as far as potential goes (white dude)
I hope I’m wrong, but he looks so physically developed already and is this guy gonna run under 10.0 in the 100m?!
Wow
He will be a blue chip recruit, for sure, and will have his choice of full scholarships at pretty much any top program he chooses, so long as he's got decent grades and a good attitude.
How he develops of course will depend on many things. I am always skeptical of High School athletes and how they will develop. Look on the high school all-time lists and there are a lot of athletes faster than him whose names you wouldn't recognize, because they never really got any better. for one reason or another. But this kid is definitely promising.
But as far as events, 10.22/20.53 is better than 46.01. I'd stick with short sprints if I were him, unless he ran that 46 flat with no speed endurance, in which case I'd say its worth investigating the 4.
As far as best T&F athlete in the nation, this is where you're clearly fanboying and you sounds like you could be his coach or mom. I think Chloe Cunliffe holds that title for the moment, as she just broke the absolute pole vault record jumping 14'9".
Sheesh... he's already signed with Georgia.

Then he should do the 1500 at least, and maybe the 10000.

Doesn't work like that. You clearly never saw Carl Lewis try to run a 300. That was painful to watch.
Looks very much like the same hypester is posting under different handles.
Excited to see how he progresses. Disappointed but not surprised by the sheep's insistence to bring his race into it, starting with the first post after the OP.

Before Lemaitre, 70 of 71 of the sprinters who’d run 100 meters in less than 10 seconds had primarily west African ancestry.
Sorry to get into race, but it's relevant here for the 100m.
Also, check out Pietro Mennea - 19.72 200m in 1979
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietro_Mennea
This isn't entirely true - Patrick Johnson of Australia has no recent Arican ancestry. Also, I bet some of those sub 10 men aren't primarily of African descent, but are 50/50 african european.
Thank you.

I don't think he was being serious...
notable legendary HS 200m runners and where they are now (all of these guys are top 10 all time in HS)
trentavis friday (20.33 in HS 2014) - never PRd again; as of 2018 his 100m had declined significantly (from 10.00 in HS to 10.59)
tyreek hill (20.14 in HS 2012) - currently an RB in the NFL and being investigated by police for battery against his 3 year old son. plead guilty to domestic assault for strangling his gf in 2015.
dabryan blaton (20.37 in HS 2001) - never PRd again
j-mee samuels (20.33 in HS 2005) - never PRd again
clinton davis (20.29 in HS 1983) - never PRd again
As much as I like Boling, and think he’s a super, there are a number of other terrific sprinters who have yet to make their outdoor appearance.
Marcellus Moore, Micah Williams, Lance Lang, Mario Heslop to name just a few.
This could be a terrific year for sprinters

He's a wide receiver, dumbass.
Is Matthew racing this weekend?

Ever heard of Michael Norman or Noah Lyles? How are they doing?

Blanton (sic) won the NCAA 60 in 2004 and 2005, and the USATF 60 in 2007. I don't think he wept about his 200 PR.
Davis was in a serious auto accident and broke both legs when he was 25. I think it's difficult to PR after that.
Samuels tied his PR, which was actually 20.32 instead of the 20.33 you list, in 2008 at Fayetteville.
Yes, he is running the Victor Lopez Classic at Rice University.

Actually he would not be being discussed on Letsrun were he not white.
At least not in a positive tone. He maybe would be accused of using PEDs or being a criminal were he a person of color

Get outta here you racist POS. Norman, Lyles and Holloway, and certainly Kipchoge get almost nothing but positivity around here.

Disingenuous. He's ignored by the media and you know it. If he had a higher melanin count with the proper ancestry we'd see scores of glowing articles about him everywhere.

Lol, and what color is the sky in your fantasy world?
Reality is waiting for you to come back anytime.
