Georgia’s Matthew Boling wins track and field championship

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.
