High school kid Matthew Boling runs 100m in just 9.98sec

A HIGH school teen has been tipped to become the next Usain Bolt — after running 9.98 seconds over 100 metres.

The 18-year-old sprinter Matthew Boling destroyed his rivals at a race in Houston, Texas and recorded the incredible mark.

Given the race is being run the wrong way down the home straight, it appears officials changed the race around for favourable wind conditions.

But it appears to have worked TOO well.

Boling beat his rivals from gun to tape, getting out of the blocks quickly, before opening up his stride to take an emphatic victory by 0.3sec to his nearest rival.

9.98 seconds, I can't do anything in 9.98 seconds, it took me 10 seconds to watch him run 9.98.

What a cheater...you know his dad was in the stands telling him to slow it down and make it look legit. This is real people... the Incredibles are out there.

This is completely backwards. Usually they run from left to right and the white guy finishes last.

Imagine running 10.20 in your teens and coming second

If you gave me 7 guesses on who would win that race i would have lost.

0:06 when you’re with your black friends and accidentally say the n word.

[anand.pandey]

Is no one going to talk about how beautiful Boling's stride is?!
Marvelous.

[aldeen]

[zoomdee]

This young man was flying. The second place guy ran in the 10.20s and got blown out the water. Unreal!!

[pinchecabron]

Black people behind him lookin at him like "NANI!?!"

Needs affirmative action so theres more diversity of race amongst the runners

[beboncio]

Wtf, his upper body trying to keep up with the legs

[anthonyluna]

0:06 When you arrive in Detroit and forget to take off your Trump hat.

The thumbnail looks like he's beating them boys barefoot hopping on one leg.

Usain Bolt's 100m record is 9.58...which means this kid is running Olympic speeds at 18. Imagine if he keeps training. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the 2020 Summer Games.

I'd run that fast too if I heard a gunshot and there were 7 black dudes chasing behind me. 😂

[Nobodyyoucarabout]

aye, white guy winning one for the home team

[donlee]

Damn colour must be all screwed up on my phone.
