U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials: Noah Lyles wins the men’s 100-meter, securing a spot at the Paris Games

Noah Lyles is getting even closer to making his second Olympic team.

EUGENE, Ore. — Noah Lyles won the men’s 100-meter final Sunday with a time of 9.83, earning him a spot on his second Olympic team.

Kenny Bednarek (9.87) and Fred Kerley (9.88) finished second and third, respectively, at the U.S. track and field trials and will also go to Paris.

Christian Coleman, an Olympic silver medalist who entered as one of Lyles’ top competitors, finished fourth with a time of 9.93. He won’t represent the U.S. in the 100 but is expected to be part of the 4x100 relay pool.

Lyles said coach Lance Brauman told him before the race to "go out there and handle business."

"Coach is a man of few words when it comes down to the finals," he said. "We both know that if I do what I’ve been doing in practice, the race is going to take care of itself. And that’s exactly what happened today."
