Lyles and I don't think it would be particularly close. Pro sprinters do 500s in practice all the time. Lyles could probably run 58-59 as a 19.31 guy.

Lyles 💯%. When I ran track we had 200m guys who occasionally did a 500m in workouts. As an 800m runner I ran 1:01.8 in a 500m workout and I wasn't the fastest but after a short jog/walk recovery my 35.0 300m was the fastest 300m. So I'm sure Lyles could definitely go sub 60 secs...Jakob maybe 1:01.2 . Jakob is s more endurance than speed even as a 1500m runner.
