Lyles doesn't need to run US Trials, he has wild card entry for both the 100 and 200, right?

I don't know...it should be possible for Lyles to win. His first 200m last year was 19.77 into a 1.6 headwind. Granted he had more 100m tune ups before he ran the 200m.

Tebogo has found some form, but his competition has been...a bit sh*t. He hasn't run against Kenny B yet for example. His 100m results so far haven't been great.

Lyles doesn't run bad races, so I expect him to take it to Tebogo.

cant wait for him to get dusted. Tebogo will show Olympics not a fluke.

Well, I guess Lyles needs a tune-up race before nationals, and he wants a big matchup for which he will get paid.

I hope Tebogo wins.

Yes, as reigning world champion in both events, he's eligible to compete in Tokyo as a "Wild Card" entry. But I think USATF still requires such athletes to compete in at least one round at the US championships.
