To run a 45 in a distance he hasn't done for a long time, his fitness was focussed on the shorter sprints, he is gonna do well if he focuses on 400

[@ThaSpeedsterZ]

Or, he'll get beat by dudes who've been focused on the 400 this whole time

[@Tomy-im8zl]

@@ThaSpeedsterZ it's still sprinting, it's not like he was doing 10 miles. Kerley went from 400m to 100m because when you are good at all sprinting distance, you can get in shape pretty quickly when you change your main distance.

[@cavaleer]

This could be his home. Considering he's been a jack of all trades focusing on the 400 could yield something really impressive. Good to see.

[@Taybaby2000]

Delusional af

[@Comeoffitman]

He’s winning. He’s rich and a college graduate. He’s also privileged. Win win win. Who really cares if he’s fast, he can buy a car faster than all the sprinters. Winner

Might be his best distance. He has the front end speed, they can work on the last quarter.

Best distance to do what?🤣🤣

[@tjfreeman7179]

Agreed. 400m focus and work and im sure he can break into 44s

@tjfreeman7179 you'll be saying the same thing 5 yrs from now...that track career is over with

[@tjfreeman7179]

I would like to see him run more relax...always running with pain, suffering and anger. With right coach he will run 44s. I believe 400m open is his best event.

[@gary1703]

hey runs with the same bounce as wayde van niekerk. Skies the limit for him. Super talented at the 1 and 2. But I'm excited to see him at the 4. He just doesn't have the explosiveness for the 1 and he is just born at the wrong time for the 2, bcos so many dudes are running 19.7's easily nowadays. I think he could do better at the 2, but i t think training for the 4 may help is 2. Either way. He is going to get paid to run track, which only a few people in the world are able to do. All the best Mat.

[@RK-um9tu]

Bolings time does not even put him in the top 4266 400 meter performers of all-time. The all-time list stops at 45.20. Another delusional Boling fanboy embarrassed.

[@gary1703]

@@RK-um9tu I know exactly where 45.5 puts him. Did he even train to run an individual 4 this year? Probably not. And yes I am a fan!!!! And you must be a fan of me, seeing that you took time to comment back to me. So thank you sir. 😁

[@MegaTefta]

@@gary1703 He definitely trains for the 400m but 45.5 isn't really a competitive time if he gets better coaches then maybe he can work something out. I've honestly seen him regress through his years at Georgia.

[@gary1703]

@@MegaTefta I totally agree with you. I don’t know if he is over training seeing that he wants to get that lucrative contract once he is done with college, but his improvements have been minimal throughout the years at Georgia. He has done well though at the 2. It’s super evident that he tightens up and presses way to much in the 1 but most definitely in the 2. From the eye test, I just don’t think he has the explosiveness and the quick twitch to win a medal at a major championship in the 1 and 2. And I know it’s a long shot, but I just think if he dedicated all his time to the 4. I just have a sneaky feeling from everything that I’ve seen that he can be successful there.

[@johnjay6370]

​@@RK-um9tu He can only get better, I see a high 44 at the trials, if he gets below 44.5 he has a good shot to make the team! This is his last week of training, i do not think is enough, but next year will be is breakthrough year! This will also make him faster in the 200m, the focus on the 100m for 3 years hurt him in thE 200M AND 400M. I expect him to run the first 200m race qualify for the next round, run the 400m race and also make it to the next round. Depending on his times, he might scratch one of the races if they are on the same day or during a race window. A win for him is anything

[@jakehone]

And he was just on the world record breaking mixed 4x400. He's got some potential here...

[@apostlekelley3618]

Good to see him focus on the quarter.

[@acetofresh1]

Almost didn't recognize him but this Zandrion Barnes would make the WC2023 where he ran a blistering leg on the 4x400m RELAY!

[@michaeljoyner6470]

Good Rumt Matthew. You got the Silver.Not bad for the first run. Keep this going. You will be # 1 .

[@RK-um9tu]

With that time, Boline would have won a 400-meter Olympic gold medal in 1956🤣😂🤣😂

[@valerielynn7256]

And you probably run 2 min 400 so grow up the man is working what are u doing besides using your fingers he will be in the 44s by August when he cleans up that last 100

[@larrylem3582]

Never mind the guy who won the race

[@valerielynn7256]

I think he could have ran a mid 44 if he didn’t tie up in the last 100 he keeps working on his overall conditioning and shape he will get better and better

[@billybud9557]

The 44's will come, Matthew.............keep rockin'

[@billybud9557]

@@FreedomNLiberty-rn3xv Ya....probably....maybe low 44's will make team....but Boling not likely to get 1.5 seconds improvement in such a short time.

Was Boling the only person in the race ? Who won and in what time ??????

[@paultoy9611]

There were four other pros Boling beat in the race.What were their names?Why did they lose to Boling?

[@raya472]

Yeah I hate these stupid type of videos. Hyping up Matt but he didn't win. I actually thought he was the winner. I guess this channel doesn't care actually won. Is this the Matt Boling channel?

[@yrug4y444]

Check video description for results with times

[@rwilliams215]

Are you kidding? Boling is always the ONLY one in the race (according to his fans). Or the many sites like this one.

[@SuperElott]

Lj and the 400. He needs to join Kersee’s team

[@Dvnwee]

he needs a break

[@edwardgutierrez2638]

Not bad at all for Boling. The 400 is gonna be his best event for qualifying for any sort of national team in the future. However knowing how stacked the US is with 400m runners, running 45s will only get you so far.

[@DarkLink0]

Will you also upload the men's 800m race?

[@yrug4y444]

Unfortunately did not record the 800m 😕

[@jjgreen5206]

Very good for his first 400m. He should run it at the US trials. If he learns how to run the second 200m he could be dominant

[@reddragon1572]

He can't, he didn't make the qualifying time of 45.2

[@iloverobert35]

Y didn’t you record the whole video ?

[@NancyGonzalez-kv5mm]

I want to know what go is the other guy, the one that won the race.

[@wymple09]

If he gets with Kersee he will be a legit threat.

[@micdeleon]

Possible. Good point

[@paultoy9611]

Boling's haters all say he's just average and he just beat several other pros not even running close to the sub 45s(one sub 44s split in April at the Texas Relays) relay splits he's clocked.Why did he beat four or five other pros then?

[@yawos9024]

Who are these pros? I didn't see any 400 meter heavy weight in this race. That being said, I think 400 will be good for him.

Boling's time is good for a higher schooler. Boling's time is good if it were 1956. Boling's time doesn't even make the all-time list which includes 4266 performers who have run at least 45.20

Good race for Bowling but He didn't relax enough on the 3rd turn. He started off fast but maybe a little too fast for his first open 400m. If you relax for at least half the 3rd curb your finish is usually better. Smooth arms are what he needs. You can't accelerate for a full 400m without it. smooth, relaxed ARMS. @speedmatters2023
