Noah Lyles Wins Men's 100m at U.S. Olympic Trials and Qualifies for Paris Olympics

World champion Noah Lyles triumphed in the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials, finishing in 9.83 seconds to secure his spot at the Paris Olympics. Lyles overcame a slow start to beat Kenny Bednarek and Fred Kerley, who finished second and third, respectively, while Christian Coleman, the 2019 world champion, finished fourth. This victory marks Lyles' first national title in the 100 meters and follows his success at the 2023 World Championships, where he won gold in the 100, 200, and 4x100 relay. Despite recent struggles, Kerley managed to qualify, demonstrating resilience through changes in coach and sponsorship. The trials also highlighted Sam Kendricks' record-breaking pole vault performance and the promising talent of 16-year-old Quincy Wilson in the 400 meters.
