Lyles said he thought he had given the win away by dipping at the line too soon, so he went up to Thompson and told him, “Bro, I think you got that one.”America's Fred Kerley came in third at 9.81.The top seven all finished within .09 of each other. The 9.784 also marks a personal best for Lyles, who has been promising to add his own brand of excitement to track and certainly delivered this time.
What was the difference? Maybe Lyles’ closing speed and that lean into the line that he thought was mistimed.
