Matthew Boling won a national championship for Georgia
Matthew Boling is now a national champion thanks to a record-setting 200-meter run.
Boling ran a 20.19 at the NCAA indoor track and field championship, just besting LSU’s Terrance Laird who came in at 20.20.
It’s been an incredibly successful year for Boling, after he recently broke Champ Bailey’s school record in the long jump. Boling took home First Team All-American honors in that discipline as well.
