Track meets
Has anyone ever been to a UGA track meet? I haven’t and I have feeling this Boling kid might be an Olympic medalist one day and I’d like to see him race in person.

Never been broette. That cat can fly though and would love to see it in person
@allyw track meets are fun if you have never been would say attend the Spec Towns Invitational. A lot of Olympic Athletes actually on the Georgia team other than Boling.
Haven’t been to one in a long time but enjoy catching some of the events in tv. Dawgs have something special with Boling, can’t wait to see him on the big stage with USA on his chest.
I used to go "back in the day" and watch Herschel in the sprints. At the time we had two of the top sprinters in the US - Herschel and Mel Lattany. The meets can be pretty exciting.
@HollywoodDawgJrod yes! I’d love to go and take my grandfather. He was actually offered a track scholly by Spec Towns back in the 50’s but decided he couldn’t run track and make the grades to get into medical school, too. He was overjoyed when the track program claimed the natty last year. He’s 85 and still runs 6 miles a day in the south Georgia heat...
That’s awesome I actually ran under the current head coach when he was an assistant
So cool @HollywoodDawgJrod ! In which events did you compete?
make sure you have a lot of time on your hands. Track meets can last...awhile.
@allyw was a decathlete
Do women do decathlon?
Women do heptathlon
@HollywoodDawgJrod that is super impressive; the training to prepare for all those events must be grueling.
@njdawg81.
I was going to mention Walker and Lattnay. Work in Trenton.
