Lyles tied the record number of U.S. men’s 200m titles shared by Michael Johnson (1990-92, ’95-96) and Ralph Metcalfe (1932-36). His last defeat in a U.S. 200m final was at the 2016 Olympic Trials when he was 18 years old.

Lyles overtook Bednarek in the final strides of the 200-meter event and turned to stare down the runner-up, who reached out with both hands to forcefully push him away.
