By Samantha Pell Samantha Pell Reporter covering high school sports Email Bio Follow May 1 at 3:24 PM When Matthew Boling flew off the starting block last weekend, his coach could tell his 100-meter time would be fast. He just didn’t know how fast.
He was the first American high school student to break the 10-second mark in six years, but his time will not be a national record because it was aided by wind measuring 4.2 meters per second. The legal limit for wind in track and field is plus-2.0 meters per second.Boling, who is among the best prep track and field athletes in the country, will compete for the University of Georgia next year. He also was part of the U.S.
“One thing we don’t try to do is compete for records,” Collier said. “If it happens organically, then great, but certainly our goal is for him to win a state championship in individual events and obvious for our team to win a state championship as a team. If we happen to break a record along the way, that’s just a bonus.”
Boling’s time edged the previous fastest mark in all conditions by a prep athlete, posted in 2013 by Florida’s Trayvon Bromell, a wind- and altitude-aided 9.99. Bromell was the first high school athlete to break the 10-second mark in the 100 meters.

Great one I love it
He may also be the fastest “white men can’t run 100 m” teenager in history in the World
NK said Kim Jong-Un ran the 100 with a 5m headwind in 7 seconds flat.
If he didn’t have that tailwind behind him the result would have been different.
Ahm! Indian prime minister can run faster than this...
NO WAY... He's White test this guy LOL
He didn't have a great start as well. Good for him.
Craziness...
That's cause we Texans are savages like that.
4mph winds means its not an official record unfortunately. He's crazy fast, obviously. But that's a lot of wind lol.
Wow
Incredible time but it was with a massive tailwind
Accuracy of timekeeper +/- 2 seconds...
