April 23, 2022 | Track & Field
ATLANTA --- Bulldog junior sprinter Matthew Boling re-set the school 200-meter dash record to wrap up the Georgia Tech Invitational in Atlanta on Saturday.
Boling, a native of Houston, Texas, matched the world's third-fastest time this year to top his own school record in the 200m. His 19.92 passed the other 51 players in the field and gave him his first victory in the event this season. Boling's former school record was 20.06 from the 2021 Southeastern Conference Championships.

Freshman Bryce McCray made his debut in the 400m hurdles and left the George C. Griffin Track with the eighth-best time in school history. McCray registered a 51.03 for fourth place overall (second collegiate finisher).
