Lyles competed in the first round of the USATF National Championships, where he ran in the first round of the 100m dash, and he stood atop the podium. However, he won't be competing in the semi-finals and finals in order to focus on the 200m.

Following this race, the American appeared in the post-match interview, where he opened up about reinventing himself. Lyles made a bold claim about his aim of becoming the first athlete to win two World Championship titles and an Olympic champion title in the 100m dash in two consecutive years. Exuding confidence in himself, he said,

"Well, now I need the Olympic gold, you know, reinventing myself there. Now we're in 2025. It's like, OK, what's the next thing? Well, nobody's been able to go world champion, Olympics, world championship, win in the 100, let's be the first. And I don't think anybody's done the quadruple in the four or in the 200, so let's be the first. So again, it's like reinventing constantly find that next motivation," said Noah Lyles.

This statement made by the American received a lot of backlash on X, as the fans brutally squashed his claim, stating that he won't be the first one to do it. One of the users advised Lyles to focus on his game, writing:

"Noah needs to do a little less talking about focus on Kung Fu Kenny and that guy in Botswana. Oh yea, there's a brother in Jamaica who won't let him win easily. It's gonna be messy."
