Matthew Boling is still breaking records at Texas track meets. The Houston Strake Jesuit senior became the first high-schooler ever to break 10 seconds in the 100-meter dash earlier this month. He initially ran a 9.98, but the time was not officially counted due to him being aided by a tailwind. He officially finished the job by breaking the record with a 10.13-second dash over the weekend.

Boling has become a sensation, as he is also a long jump state champion with a distance of 25 feet and 4.5 inches.
Despite those eye-opening numbers, Bolling saved his most impressive performance for the 4x400. His team picked up the best time in the country at 3:10.56, thanks to a wild finish. Boling anchored the team and staged a furious comeback, passing multiple runners and making up a few seconds en route to the stunning win. He carried them with a 44.74.
After he graduates high school, Boling will be running track in for the University of Georgia. It's hard to imagine he won't continue to dominate as he moves forward into college (and possibly beyond).
