A high school sprinter from Texas left an incredible mark at a 100 meter Saturday event.
Matthew Boling of Strake Jesuit College Prep in Houston set a 9.98 mark at the III-6A track and field event. The 18-year-old posted a video of his sprint on Twitter and said, "The new public relations and the 100m high school record all the conditions, 9.98". Other social media users immediately nicknamed him "White Lightning".

The Boling brand was the fastest time for an American under 20, according to Yahoo Australia. However, the mark would not be considered a national record as it received a tailwind of 4.2 mph.
Boling was already scoring quickly in March, according to KHOU-TV. He ran 10.22 seconds in the 100 meters and 20.58 seconds in the 200 meters.
The teenager is about to go to the University of Georgia in the fall, according to CBS News.
