U.S. Olympic Track Trials: Lyles wins 100m to qualify for Paris Olympics

The Hindu  

Noah Lyles locked down the first major step in his quest for an Olympic sprint double Sunday, coming from behind to win the 100 meters at U.S. track trials in 9.83 seconds to qualify for that race in Paris. “Part of the plan, nothing’s changed,” Lyles said after the win. “It might be a shock to everybody else but when you know the goal, you know the goal.” This marks the first national title in the 100 metre for Lyles, who has long been a 200-metre specialist but who reimagined his goals after a disappointing third-place finish at the Tokyo Games in that race, then saw the work start paying off. “And now, I constantly look to the future with open eyes because anything can happen.” Lyles, who races next weekend for a spot in the 200, might even be in the mix to win four medals.
