This decision drew criticism from the athletic world, casting doubts on Kerley’s readiness to compete with the best.
Despite the rivalry, Lyles extended a hand of encouragement.
In a reflective moment captured by Sprint, he candidly remarked, “Right now he's not in the top three, and that's a battle that he's going to have to face all by himself. I’m just saying it’s an uphill battle.”
These words, far from discouraging, underscored Lyles’ recognition of the challenges Kerley faced and the resilience needed to overcome them.
Kerley rose to the occasion at the US trials, securing his place on the Olympic team alongside Lyles and Kenny Bednarek.
