A high school senior in Texas just ran a 100-meter dash in 9.98 seconds — that's fast enough to be an Olympic final. Runner Matthew Boling, nicknamed "White Lightning," broke his school's record, and he may even be the fastest high school sprinter in the country, KHOU-TV reports.

Boling, who attends Strake Jesuit College Prep in Houston, clocked an astounding 100-meter dash in 10.22 seconds last month, according to KHOU-TV. That was just the track star hitting his stride. Last week, Boling announced on Twitter that he broke his personal record.

His stride is so efficient... still upper body... that's just crazy fast. His acceleration once he's up was phenomenal. from 20m to 50m, his acceleration was just stupid fast.
