Houston high school runner breaks national record in 100-meter dash

Houston high school sprinter Matthew Boling has garnered immense national attention on the track in recent months.Boling ran the 100-meter dash at the Texas UIL state track and field championships at the University of Texas in Austin in just 10.13 seconds — breaking a 29-year-old national record.

— Daniel Gotera May 12, 2019 The Strake Jesuit high school senior made headlines earlier this month after his performance at the Texas Region III-6A track meet when he ran the 100-meter dash in just 9.98 seconds — which marked the fastest all-conditions mark ever recorded by a high school sprinter. Boling was helped by a tailwind of just more than twice the legal limit at that meet, however.

“Honestly when I looked at the race before us and saw that the wind was 1.3, I was like 'Oh, I'm excited,’” Boling said, via the Houston Chronicle. “Because after last week, everyone was like 'Oh, the wind wasn't legal' and stuff like that. So I was like 'Alright, I'll just drop a fast time today.’” "I wasn't aiming for any big records," Boling said, via the Houston Chronicle."Like in the long jump I only took two jumps because I just wanted to be rested because I had so many events today. I just had to do my job and get as many points for the team as possible."
