EUGENE, Ore. — For the second straight night at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials, Noah Lyles walked into Hayward Field with a silver briefcase. On Sunday night, though, he let Snoop Dogg carry it for him. The rapper accompanied Lyles into the stadium, cameras capturing every step, every smile and every thread of Lyles’s navy Gucci suit.
Lyles does not possess global dominion over the 100 the way he does the 200, but he is showing signs he soon will and might already domestically. Lyles established himself years ago as the fastest man on the planet at top speed. Mediocre starts prevented him from breaking into the top echelon of the 100. Conventional wisdom among sprinting cognoscenti held that if Lyles developed even an average start, he could not be touched.
Wilson came around the final turn in fifth place, seemingly in trouble. He sprinted the final 100 meters in 12.06 seconds and qualified comfortably on time. As he walked off the track, he held an index finger aloft.
