With only 18 yrs of age sprinter Matthew Boling position himself as the faster runner in All condition US hight schools history. Boiling is just one more name to add of the list of Houston track stars.
A few days ago a 18 years old track athlete Matthew Boling ran a 9.98s (+4.2) on the 100 meters on April 28 2019 at his Region 6A-3 meet in Webster, Texas. According to Boling he hasn’t compete for the 100m since the 7th grade, it is remarkable considering the fact that he consistently run them under 10″30’s for 100m this season 2019.
It’s undeniable that this young texan’s athlete is talented and know how to run. He’s the first high school runner to beat the 10-second mark since Trayvon Bromell finished in 9.99 but the epitome of this is that the 100m is not even his favorite event in the sport, Matthew prefer by far the Long jump with a best mark at 8 meters and the 400M with a PB at 46″15. Boiling has been improving at both events since his freshman year. Let’s have a look at Matthew’s 100M progression stats this season, he literally drop times like flies.
Boling did not have what we called a typical sprinter’s body type short, big, powerful musculature, but, don’t get fool! That lean body can move, and fast!
I will say that the key factor to Matthew success is his efficiency on the ground. He use his natural explosively and frequency, applying the right force at the right time, at the right angle keeping that propelling effect. Also, when he stroke the ground his recovering knee always passed his body frontal’s axe on time, which, makes his body weigh shifted on that front leg makes him aim his real top speed and allowed him to decelerate less faster than his competition.
It is one think to be able to performed well when no one expecting you, and another, when all eyes on you. Now the question is! does that 18yrs old prodigy have a big marge of improvment for years to come or does he already train like a pro with a big load of training and already taped all time his pick performance?
What is for sure Matthew Boling is an hungry man that doesn’t seem to be satiated yet, tracing himself a pathway to the next 2020 Olympics Games that will take place in Tokyo, Japan. A man to watch for years to come.
