Matthew Boling 10.20 @ Texas Relays (I don't know the wind reading, may have not been legal?):

Matthew Boling anchoring for Strake Jesuit @ Texas Relays. Go from 6th to 1st! Real tight finished, 40.86
Also long jumped 26' 3 1/2" at the Texas Relays.......wind legal!
Texas high school T&F is infamous for producing these incredible times that are all supposedly wind legal but that the kids can never come close to replicating once they set foot outside their home state.
Just saying.

Joe DeLoach never did anything outside home state? Roy Martin? Cameron Burrell?
26'3 1/2" makes Boling 7th best performer, 11th best performance in high school in the long jump, according to the Track and Field News list. In the 100m, only three athletes have run wind legal times under 10.10 and none under 10.00, so that would be a goal. In the 400m, to make the lists, he would need around 45.20, and only two guys have broken 45 in high school (Robinson's 44.69 and one guy recently from Miramar, FL at 44.99).

What an idiotic thing to say. You can point that out for like, 90% of the top sprinters in almost every state.
Someone sounds butthurt Texas produces top tier sprinters.

Sorry to get into race, but it's relevant here for the 100m.
Also, check out Pietro Mennea - 19.72 200m in 1979
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.
Maybe you don't know this, but 71 - 70 = 1, and that 1 was Patrick Johnson.

Poster A:

Poster B:

Explanation for the logically challenged:
Poster A said that 70 of 71 sprinters before Lemaitre under 10 had primarily west African ancestry, which means that there was one who was not of such ancestry. Poster B says it isn't true that 70 of 71 were of west African ancestry because Patrick was not - which is clearly the one to which Poster A was referring.

No one poster stated of the 70 runners there were some that might have been 50 percent European or non African in their DNA. Even Frankie Fredericks has Germanic blood(I'm not sure how much).
Tyrese Cooper is back 10.32 Florida relays
Is Strake Jesuit, a Jesuit school?
What is Boling's ht/wt ?
This post has aged incredibly well.

Way to go, Tyrese. Run like you stole something!
Hjjj
I strongly suspect this kid is on hgh and non steroids peds.
I lived for 10 years in Houston and was involved in the track and field scene there.. Ped use among hs athletes who want to get scholarships is the norm. Even among Lower level athletes who want to max out
His times are so freakish coming from only a sub 54 sec 400 freshman and he had been running track for years before high school combined with him coming from a gene pool better suited for endurance and strength events, all this raises suspicion of Ped use. If he were running 49 as a freshman I might believe this is natural. But my cynical upfront knowledge of how far sports parents will cheat in Houston to get their kids ahead is pervasive. One proof is that he was held back one year by his parents.
Watch him next year under ncaa testing.
Most hs stars fade in college bc they can't use peds anymore.
Sorry.

I'm sad to say I agree. I remember a rival high school of mine had a few white football players who dominated the sprints. Rumor was all were on the juice and excelled for both sports.
Matt Boling, at least in interviews, is one of the most congenial and laid-back sprinters ever, which is an endearing trait in the Instagram "Look at me" era. It also probably helps him in his extraordinary consistency. The kid doesn't have bad races.

Yeah you never know these days. It’s so easy to get your hands on peds and testing is a joke.

Your suspicion certainly has merits. Combine unnatural progression (plenty of hs freshmen run 54-53 second 400s but very few if any progress to boling’s marks) and ultra competitive track scene in Texas (similar to California), kids and even their parents will do literally anything to gain an edge.
As for being held back one year... well he will basically be a 20 year old freshman going to college where it might be hard to get peds and use them discreetly, unless his college coaches dope athletes up themselves. Only time will tell how he performs.
