Although I am a UGA grad congrats to Laird for getting the double 100 and 200 m. He is definitely peaking at the right time. Now we will have to see if he can slay the current giant in the 200 in Noah Lyles. Boling when he improves his technique will be better and if someone could get Fahnbelluh some technical help then the US would have 3 young problems for the world in the 100 and 200 meters races. Lang looks good as well. By the way how in the hell does a major television station has such god awful camera angles on major event like this. The camera angles for this race was like watching someone's little league footage of their kid's game. That was terrible, couldn't even tell Fahnbelluh came up late to get second.

[@GospelSoulMassChoir]

Cameras placement..just a mess..yes agree.

[@TheRealBrayo]

Agreed! Hopefully Terrance has his legs under him in 4 wks cause the long collegiate racing circuit wears down the student athletes. The cam angle on this one should’ve been better.

[@rd.micahh]

@Toldyou So idk about back and forth at this point man, it’s looking real one sided, as terrance’s consistency is crazy Boling is inconsistent (sometimes), and his top speed isn’t as great as laird’s

[@RunBuddyRun]

​@Toldyou So It is definitely much more than an edge at this point. The competition is over, Laird is the dominant performer. Boling is one of the toughest competitors I've seen in years. He appears to give it all but he needs more technique over brute force. I think that once Fahnbelluh loses some weight that he will beat Boling consistently when they battle it out for another 1 or 2 years if they both stay in college. Fahnbelluh just doesn't have the turnover at this point because he carrying too much weight. Take Laird out of the picture because he is going pro. I actually think that Laird should withdraw from school right away, skip the NCAA championships and focus on the olympic trials. This is his moment. The Olympics are NOW and he's lucky to have peaked in an olympic year. He should seize the moment because no one knows what's going to happen when it comes around again. If he doesn't make the team, he can always go back to college in the fall to finish out his education.

[@romztemple1651]

@@RunBuddyRun yeah I agree with everything you said, laird is peaking at the right time so I think he should forgo the Ncca championships and focus on the upcoming olympics, boiling is too tight in the way he runs he has good form but his upper body is so tight and he’s trying to force his arm movements, Joseph I’m not too sure if he needs to lose the weight but he definetly needs some help with the start if only he had great turnover similar to bolt it would have been scary

@@TheRealBrayo Terrance Is improving fast. Noah Lyle's would be beaten or should I say predict, will be beaten. Too many sprinters at oasis him pockets or improve of him at this juncture. Trayvon Brummel is back & just dusted him recently by a big margin. Lyle's was too preoccupied with being the heir apparent to Usain Bolt & though he had the baton. He kept talking about that phenomenal record of 9.58/19.19 rather that trying to beat Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay's, & Yohan Blake's time. Way too premature. Not he had lost ground & in sprints that's hard to recapture. I predict he will not the Olympic 100m or 200m. Laird looks better & Brommell also.

[@mh0Ang95]

@@noelsmythe7391 I still wouldn’t count him out. Lyles has ran 19.9 this year so far already, and understand that the Olympics isn’t until mid to late summer. Pro athletes are trying to peak then. So even at the US olympic trials they shouldn’t be at their peak either (at least if their training goes according to schedule). I predict Lyles will be at 19.7 200m range by trials and hopefully bring 19.6 in Tokyo. He will definitely make the team however. Laird too but they thing with Laird is he’s had a long collegiate season. Burnout is a thing. Bromell is the favorite so far in the 100m for sure

[@ahmorgan]

Laird has so much potential. He's probably under 165lbs and just has pure speed. Definitely my favorite sprinter at this point. Show's you don't have to be built like Ben Johnson or 6'5 like Usain Bolt to be an amazing athlete

Within a few months, Laird was barely able to go the same speed as Boling where they're both the same speed. Suddenly Laird's looking like he was never that slow and as if Boling is not even in the same league as him. How's that possible when you were already at the highest speeds in the nation?

This was a really great track meet, one of the best I have ever been to. I hope Terrance does not peak to soon. Two years ago Shar' carri Richardson ran a record performance in the women's NCAA 100 but fizzled out the rest of the year. Didn't even make the world championship team. Matthew Boling seems to be coming along slower and this might help him in the long run. So glad track is back.

Yessir! On the other hand, Xavier Carter (LSU) dominated during his time and went on to beat Tyson Gay & Usain Bolt with a 19.63 later on after NCAA’s. Same with Richard T who set the NCAA record in 08 ...won athlete of the year and went on to win Silver at LSU.

In 2017 he ran an outstanding time early in the season and was one of the favorites for a gold medal at the WC.

Not even close. Jaylen is 2 years younger in high school running 20.1 in the 200m. Boling will turn 21 in 7 days. Usain ran his best time ever at 21 and so is many sprinters. When Usain went 9.58 im sure most ppl went, oh he’s onIy 21...so I disagree, Matt might wind up beating Terrance later in their pro career, but it would take Terrance being injured/outta shape. If Terrance is 101%, it’ll take Matt being 147% to take down Terrance. Matt will most likely be in college for 1 more year. My prediction is whatever he runs next year at 22 years may end up being one of the fastest time he’ll ever run (wind legal). He went 10.15 wind legal this year. I say 10.07 wind legal next year tops. He ran a lot of wind aided times in hs.

[@robertsamson4610]

Laird has exceptional acceleration...but he has a bad habit of running with his hands open instead of making a fist. Too bad he didn't have a coach to break him of that habit. Why is that important you ask? Because it shortens your arms which means you can pump and move your arms faster which in turn translates to faster leg movement which translates to even faster times. I'm an ex sprinter from the '60s. I set 5 school records which still stand today. The 100yd dash, the 220yd dash, the 440yd dash, the 120HH, the 180yd Low Hurdles. Plus my teammates and I set school records in the 4x110, 4x220, 4x440.

Good stuff!

[@robertsamson4610]

@Ric Jones Good stuff! ^^

[@lmoore9676]

Some sprinters actually tighten up when they run with a closed fist. Could be this was the best form for him because it allows him to run relaxed. Just a thought

[@hellogoodbye4061]

If you watch the clip in which Boling edges Laird in the 200 meter indoor championships, whoa, Laird had that eye of the tiger look afterward. You can sense he was thinking "I will NEVER lose to him again, not him, not anyone, ever again." ... Um, these two dominations tell the rest of the story.

[@nonyabusiness1126]

And now Matt does...

[@leo29hornsfan]

Boling seriously needs to work on his form. His speed is basically a 19.99 in the 200 meters with that awful form and that’s scary how fast he is. He could easily run a 19.85 or faster if he got his running form and technique down and him and Laird would absolutely dominate the whole field. This SEC track talent is no joke

[@TheRealBrayo]

💯

[@lmoore9676]

Dont know about dominant. He lost to fahnbulleh and everything about his race/technique is terrible

[@mauricemordecai4376]

He is just 19 or 20 years old. Even Usain Bolt wasn't dominant at that age. Give him 2 or 3 years, and he should get pretty close to Usains record.

[@TheRealBrayo]

@@mauricemordecai4376 If I’m not mistaken, I think Usain ran a 20.13 at 15 years tying the junior world record of Roy Martin in 2002-2003 and broke 20 around 17-18 years. He wasn’t dominating, but fir his age..that’s unmatched.

[@nicholas104]

@Rodster You obviously don't know anything about either competing or coaching at the NCAA D1 level. Well, I DO. No one said anything about him placing any higher than 3rd or this particular day. Enough with the BS. Since you wanted to go there, for the record, Boling has ALREADY BEATEN BOTH OF THEM indoors, and he's beaten Fahnbulleh 4 TIMES already, you genius.

@Rodster Bro, I made no excuses for his loss. I'm not frontin' for Boling, or covering for him. (What are you talking about?!?) I made an observation that is 100% TRUE about his MINDSET, as a result of a small thing that was beyond his control, but he allowed it to distract him. That's it.
