As the reigning world champion in both the 100m and 200m, Noah Lyles holds an automatic berth to the World Championships. He has entered both events at the U.S. Nationals, but has said before that he will only compete in the 200m. The USATF Outdoor Championships will take place from July 31 to August 3 at Hayward Field, Oregon.
At the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Lyles won gold in the 100m with a time of 9.83 seconds and followed that with a 200m title in 19.52 seconds. Athletes such as Lyles, Sha’Carri Richardson, Gabby Thomas and Grant Fisher have already secured their places in Team USA.

Noah Lyles’ 2025 season so far
Lyles began his 2025 season at an invitational meet in Florida, then ran the 400m at the Tom Jones Memorial Meet. He later withdrew from the Atlanta City Games in May, citing a 'tight ankle'.
After nearly a six-week break, Lyles returned to the track at the Monaco Diamond League, running his first 200m of the season and winning in 19.88 seconds, defeating Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo. At the 2024 Olympics, Tebogo had finished ahead of Lyles.
