High School Track Star Matthew Boling Challenges Ted Ginn Jr. to Race

Boling set a national high school record when he ran a 100-meter race in 10.13 seconds.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. may be fast, but high school track star Matthew Boling thinks he's faster.

In a post on Twitter on Friday, Boling—nicknamed "White Lightning"—appeared to challenge Ginn to a race, taking the wide receiver up on his offer to run pole to pole for "$10,000 or better."
