  1. Clear up confusion? Sorry, seems like you were adding to confusion by bringing up extraneous records not related to the one Bolinger broke. And in some ways, you seemed to be jumping on the bandwagon of critics of his prior 9.98 run which was wind aided (by mentioning other runners with other records), but he follows it up with another strong run at UIL. And if anything, he looks like he has more in the tank because he isn't being pushed in 100M races. Witness how he was pushed in the relay where he had to come from behind and then produces a 44.75! In long jump, he only takes 2 jumps, and then saves his energy for the other events. Can't believe only running 100M since March and seems to be getting stronger with each race. Wonder if he will post sub 10 this summer (not wind aided). Would not be surprised at all if he steps it up against stronger competition and gets another PR.
  2. He also won long jump and come from behind anchor of 1600 relay at 44.75 split! Impressive stuff. Are comparisons to Carl Lewis potential appropriate?
  3. It's THE high school record PERIOD. Just like you have meet records, or Olympic records or World records. Boiling has High school record. Boiling holds record. PERIOD. No reason to compare his times to college runners or what runners did the summer after high school. Why you do that? That's like crying that the guy who just won the Olympic gold medal didn't have the fastest time that year or didn't set a world record so he's not really that fast and people shouldn't celebrate his medal. Debbie downer man! Given Boiling hasn't been training 100 long, and has yet to get college coaching, who knows what his peak time will be. Time will tell. Best of luck to him! I like the tweet from Ado Boldon: "As a sub-ten guy, I’ll say this: sometimes you have to run a time wind-aided first, before you can run it with legal wind."
  4. JTFAN: "Also, Trentavis Friday ran a 10.00, at a USA junior track meet during the summer after he graduated high school, before he enrolled in college...so this is the fastest LEGAL time ran by a HIGH SCHOOL KID." If you graduated from high school you are no longer "a high school kid". Sorry. I guess you think everyone who never enrolls in college is still a high school kid? LOL
