Noah Lyles

Incoming freshman ran a 20.04 at the Olympic trials yesterday. 2nd fastest 200 all time by a high school kid. Our incoming track class next year is off the chart.

You'd better hope he doesn't qualify tomorrow.

Seriously doubt he will make the top 3 in the final, And I seriously doubt he will sign a deal with somebody. His twin brother is headed to Gainesville too. He is almost just as good.

If Urb was here the kid would be returning kicks next year

Great effort by Lyles. He finished in the dreaded 4th spot.....great time though, 4th fastest junior time ever!!

If it wasn't for Justin Gatlin, the world's most obvious steroid cheat, he would have made the team.

So, you're running faster at age 34 then you did when you were a 28-year-old steroid user? Makes sense.

You called it...no way did I think somebody would actually pony up and sign his brother too...but they did and off both of them go...

It's gotten crazy. They are going younger and younger with these contracts.

To be fair, Noah is ridiculously consistent for a high-schooler. He should be on the relay team.

No he wouldn't for quite a few reasons.

He always said over the past two years at track meets that he and his brother were a package deal...his brother is outstanding, but his times are not pro material at this time....so somebody wanted Noah badly to bring brother along too...
