Matthew Boling Adds An SEC Weekly Accolade
April 26, 2022 | Track & Field
ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia junior Matthew Boling was voted the Southeastern Conference Men's Runner of the Week following his performance at the Georgia Tech Invitational over the weekend, according to a league announcement Tuesday.
Boling, a native of Houston, Texas, was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Men's Athlete of the Week for the second time in 2022 earlier in the day. His SEC honor was his second this outdoor season.
Boling shot out of the blocks in the 200-meter dash in Atlanta to top his former school record of 20.06 from last year with a 19.92 into a -0.9 meter/second wind. This made him the No. 10 all-time collegiate performer with the No. 12 all-time collegiate performance. Boling leads the nation in the event and is tied for third in the world this year.
The current wind-legal national leader in the 100m as well, Boling also ran a leg on the winning 4x400m relay after the Bulldog foursome clocked a 3:06.10 with the next team nearly two seconds behind them.
Up Next: The Bulldogs play host to this year's only home meet, the fifth-annual Torrin Lawrence Memorial, at the Spec Towns Track in Athens, Ga., on Friday-Saturday.
