Matthew Boling Named SEC Runner Of The Week
February 01, 2022 | Track & Field
ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia junior sprinter Matthew Boling has been named the Southeastern Conference Men's Runner of the Week for the second time this season, according to league announcement Tuesday.
Boling, a native of Houston, Texas, was mostly recently awarded U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Men's Athlete of the Week and SEC Men's Runner of the Week honors two weeks ago. After being named the SEC Freshman of the Week twice indoors in 2020, Boling garnered SEC Men's Runner of the Week honors two separate times last year.
From the women's side, Elena Kulichenko and Kenondra Davis have also earned SEC Women's Freshman of the Week honors in 2022 for Georgia.
Boling continued his 2022 streak of going undefeated in the 60-meter dash, 200m, 4x400m relay and long jump over the weekend at the Razorback Invitational. He clocked a national leading and meet record time of 20.27 to win the 200m with the No. 16 all-time collegiate performance.
Boling also ran the opening leg of the winning 4x400m relay with a 45.33 split as the Bulldogs set a school record with a 3:04.07. This ranks third on this year's national list and is No. 10 on the all-time collegiate performer's list. In addition, he soared 8.05 meters (26 feet, 5 inches) in the long jump to grab top honors.
Up Next: The Bulldogs train through the weekend before splitting up to go to the Tiger Paw Invitational (Clemson, S.C.) and the Music City Challenge (Nashville, Tenn.) on Feb. 11-12.
