Sprinter Matthew Boling is making big changes this offseason. He's leaving the University of Georgia to turn pro with a focus on making the U.S. team for the Paris Olympics. He also is working with a new coach. The 23-year-old Boling has been on the fast track toward this goal since he burst on the scene with a performance that went viral more than four years ago. Back then, Boling made headlines by breaking the 10-second barrier in the 100 meters as a high schooler. Along with it came the inevitable comparisons to Jamaican great Usain Bolt.
