Sprinter Noah Lyles sets American record in 200 meters, wins world title in 19.31 seconds as U.S. men take top 3 spots at track and field championships. EUGENE, Ore.
Best 200m time:
“This feels great because I’ve been waiting for America to come out and dominate since I got on the platform.”
Lyles’ 19.31 was the third-fastest time in history, behind only Usain Bolt’s 19.19 in 2009 and a 19.26 run two years later by another Jamaican, Yohan Blake, while he was briefly pushing Bolt for supremacy.
100m time:
Lyles, who scored 19.31, led the United States’ sweep as Kenneth Bednarek (19.77) and Arianne Knighton (19.80) finished second and third, respectively.
The American men also covered the 100 meters on 16 July, led by Fred Kerle.
I was just waiting for it to hit,” said Lyles, who didn’t run the 100m, his complementary event, this year because he was focused on Johnson’s record (and, to a degree, beating Knighton). “It was always going to come, as soon as I got the start I wanted and was able to get a race where I get my [first] 100 [meters].”
400m time:
The scoreboard clock initially, unofficially read 19.32, then changed to 19.31. “It was always there. I was just waiting for it to hit,” said Lyles, who lowered his personal best from 19.50.
Lyles, 25, also won the event at the 2019 World Championships but took bronze last summer at the Tokyo Olympics. He now owns the third-fastest time in history behind Usain Bolt’s 19.19 and Yohan Blake’s 19.26.
