Georgia Bulldogs track star Matthew Boling won an indoor track and field national championship in the 200m race. Boling topped LSU’s Terrance Laird with a razor thing .01 second advantage.

Boling’s performance helped the Dawgs finish third. His 200m time of 20.19 seconds would have tied the sixth-place finisher at the 2016 Olympics. Boling is still only a sophomore at Georgia, so he’s got plenty of time to improve in his craft.

Boling’s time of 20.19 is the sixth-best 200m in college track history. Congratulations to Matthew Boling, who is also among the top competitors in the long jump event.

UGA track star Matthew Boling breaks one of Champ Bailey’s records

UGA track athlete Matthew Boling has broken former Georgia Bulldog legend Champ Bailey’s long jump record

Matthew Boling, the talented Georgia track sophomore, is capping off a record setting 2021 season. Boling has broken former Georgia Bulldog legend Champ Bailey’s long jump record.

Boling continues to dominate indoor track and will look to break more records in the spring outdoor season after COVID-19 cut last year short. Boling will participate in more events today, but it is looking like Arkansas will repeat as Men’s SEC Indoor Track champions.

The Georgia Women’s Track & Field team has a chance to win the SEC Indoor Track championship though.

Despite setting a University of Georgia record, Boling finished fourth in the long jump event. LSU’s JuVaughn Harrison set a meet record with a 27-foot-4 long jump. The silver lining for Boling is that he outperformed everybody who is a sophomore or younger.
