Noah Lyles just ran 9.84 hand-timed, converted to 10.14 for the official results.
Noah's brother, Josephus, also ran 45.46 in the 400.
And of course Kate Murphy's 4:14 1500m.
The Commonwealth is on fire this year, and with McGorty, Murphy, Rachel McArthur, and Hunter's little brother, next year should throw some gasoline on it.
right now its Drew vs Noah for the best but it was hand timed which is not even close to being reliable so in an argument of his speed you cant use that. You can mention his 20.2 200 though. But not a hand timed event that could be a 10.3 very easily
VA is too backwater for FAT? No such thing as 9.84 HT.
No automated timing at a state regional? What incompetence or equipment failure led to this?
In any event, the result is worthless, imo and thats not to impugn the runner, he may well be capable of said time. But hand timing is often a random number generator.
Not trusting anyone from VA when it comes to numbers/counting
The Lyles are not twins, even though they are both seniors. Noah was born in July 1997, Josephus one year later.

Correct. I never said they were twins, but I know some people have made that assumption.
A legitimate 10.14 would put Noah into the Olympic Trials, and I suspect they're trying to pull this illegal trick to circumvent the officials' incompetence.
Noah ran 10.17 FAT wind legal at Arcadia and the standard is 10.16. His brother ran 45.91 as I recall.
You do NOT legally convert 9.84 hand to 10.14 as if it was FAT. You round up to 9.9 and specify it as 9.9h. Hand times are not acceptable as times by either USATF or IAAF for events of 400m or shorter. If Noah Lyles appears under status of entries for the OT, a protest should be filed.
Why? He can enter with a 10.17, just he won't be guaranteed acceptance. Do 31 other people have a 10.16 or lower?
I'm pretty sure it was 10.14 FAT but the guy who runs milesplit va handtimed it to 9.84, I could be wrong though. It seems weird to me that they wouldnt have FAT since we had it when I ran in that region last year.
Lenny,
Don't forget Kelati's 9:53 3200. It is a us #1 by 15 seconds.
The timing system failed during the meet, and afte a 30 minute delay, they hand timed until it was fixed.
ðŸ‘🻠Lyles takes it I believe, even though Hunyer just got PAID $$$
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
